Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
- 1/2 pound bulk breakfast sausage, such as maple sausage
- 1 medium sweet potato, scrubbed clean, cut in 1/2 lengthwise, thinly sliced into 1/2 moons
- 1 large red onion thinly sliced, divided
- 2 teaspoons chili powder, 2/3 palm full
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/3 palm full
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander, 2/3 palm full
- Salt and pepper
- 3 yellow vine ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
- 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, a palm full
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, a few handfuls
- 1 cup grated manchego or extra-sharp Cheddar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 large eggs
Directions
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat with 2 turns of the pan of olive oil, about 2 tablespoons. Add the breakfast sausage and break it up with the back of a wooden spoon into little chunks, brown sausage for 3 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and 3/4 of the chopped red onion to the sausage, season with chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper, stir frequently and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the potatoes are nice and tender.
While the hash is cooking, in a small bowl combine the tomatoes, jalapeno, and the remaining chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice and a little salt and pepper.
Once the hash is cooked, add the chopped parsley, stir to combine and transfer hash to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the cheese and cover with aluminum foil, the cheese will melt while you make the fried eggs.
Wipe clean the skillet you made the hash in, return it to the cook top over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, crack each of the eggs into the skillet, season with a little salt and pepper and fry to desired doneness. Eggs may, of course, be scrambled as well. As you like!
Transfer the fried eggs to the top of the hash, sprinkle with the fresh tomato salsa and serve.

If you are having this for breakfast, don't feel you have to make the salsa. However, if you are making this for a dinner, I highly recommend the salsa... it adds another dimension that you need for a full meal. I used half of the spices (rachel ray's recipes are usually to spicy for me - and i'm pregnant so i wanted to help the heartburn, but i think this time i probably could have used all of the spices and it would have been ok.

Very tasty, great breakfast-for-dinner dish. Tips for next time:
* Only use 1/4 or 1/3 of the spice listed in the recipe. I used about 2/3 of what was listed this time and it was a bit overwhelming, the spices distracted from the rest of the dish.
* Measure out the lime juice for the salsa. I 'winged it' and the lime was a bit much.
* Loved the sweetness of the maple flavored sausage in the dish. Don't skip that.
* The egg and the salsa cools and compliments the crunchiness of the hash, doesn't feel like a complete dish without them.
* My sweet potato was pretty large, so I cut the slices into quarters. Sliced thin they cooked up nicely.
Great dish, it's a keeper. :

I made this this morning for breakfast. It was absolutely delicious and a big hit at my house. I substituted the maple sausage for a Cajun style andouille. The key to getting the sweet potatoes to cook is to dice them very small.
