Golden and Sweet Potato Hash Browns with Vegan Chorizo
Hearty hash brown skillets are irresistible, and this one becomes a main dish with sweet potatoes, greens, and vegan chorizo.
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato 4 to 5 medium-large golden or red-skinned potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 2 cups finely chopped kale or green cabbage
- 8- to 10-ounce package plant-based chorizo or Tempeh and Mushroom Chorizo (see link to recipe in Notes)
- 1 teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika, or more, to taste
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley or cilantro, or more, to taste
Instructions
- To microwave or cook the potatoes: Microwave the sweet potato starting with 2 minutes, then add a minute until about half done—it can be pierced, but with some resistance. Microwave the other potatoes starting at 1 minute per potato, also until about half done. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into 1/2-inch dice. If using sweet potato, you may prefer peeling them first. Alternatively, you can peel and dice the potatoes and cook them together in gently simmering water for about 15 minutes. Either of these methods can be done ahead of time.
- Heat the half of the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until translucent. Add the diced potatoes and continue to sauté, stirring often, until they and the onion are lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes
- Add the zucchini and greens sauté for 2 to 3 minutes longer, or just until tender. Move this mixture to a plate or bowl and cover.
- Heat the remaining oil in the skillet if using packaged chorizo. Sauté until it turns light brown, breaking up larger chunks with a wooden spoon or spatula. If making your own chorizo, follow the recipe.
- Once the packaged or homemade chorizo is done, return the vegetable mixture to the skillet. Stir together gently and heat through as needed.
- Season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir in most of the parsley, reserving some for topping. Serve at once.
