  7. Serve (2 minutes): Serve the hash hot, topped with a dollop of horseradish sauce.

Notes

The key to a great hash is getting a good crispy texture on the potatoes. Be patient and let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes before stirring.

You can use any type of sausage you prefer, and for a healthier version, opt for turkey or chicken sausage. The horseradish sauce can be adjusted according to your taste for spiciness. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy your meal!

Pair this with...

Cheddar Biscuits

First, heat up your oven. In a bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, baking powder, a sprinkle of salt, and a dash of garlic powder for that extra depth. Blend in cold, cubed butter until the mixture looks like chunky crumbs. Fold in a generous handful of sharp cheddar cheese, spreading the cheesy joy throughout. Gently mix in milk, just until the dough pulls together. Now, using a big spoon, drop heaping mounds of this dough onto a baking sheet. They'll be imperfect and that's part of their charm! Slide them into the oven, watching as they expand and brown, with bits of golden cheddar making their appearance. Once baked to perfection, let them cool a bit, but serve warm.

Fresh Mixed Greens Salad

Start with a base of mixed greens, combining varieties like arugula, spinach, romaine, or any leafy greens you love. Slice up a handful of cherry tomatoes for a burst of juiciness. Next, peel and shave or thinly slice a carrot for a sweet and crunchy addition. Now, here's where you get to be creative. Raid your fridge for veggies – maybe some leftover bell peppers, slices of cucumber, or even some steamed broccoli or green beans. Toss them all into your salad. Drizzle with your favorite vinaigrette or dressing, give it a good mix, and you've got a vibrant, crunchy, and fresh salad that goes well with just about any meal.

Homemade Apple Sauce

Grab about 4-6 apples (mix and match varieties for fun flavors), ¾ cup water, a pinch of salt, and sugar or honey to taste. For an aromatic twist, toss in a cinnamon stick or a pinch of ground cinnamon. First, peel, core, and chop your apples. Throw them in a pot with the water, salt, and optional cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, letting those apples soften for 20-30 minutes. Once they’re all mushy and the kitchen smells like heaven, mash 'em up with a fork or potato masher. Sweeten if desired, and voilà, you’ve got applesauce! Serve it warm or cold.
