Sweet Potato Hash
Sweet potato hash is a simple, one pan meal that’s great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Easy enough for a weeknight, but impressive enough for company…and tastes even more amazing when cooked over a campfire!
This sweet potato hash has become our favorite go-to camping meal. Truth be told, it’s in regular rotation whether we’re camping or not! The entire family gobbles it up (toddler and all) and it’s equally as easy to make at home, or in the bush!
If you haven’t already guessed, our family loves to camp. I grew up camping all over Oregon as a kid, and lived in the Shenendoah Mountains in my early 20’s. Now I’ve fallen in love with the northern mountains and valleys of the Idaho Panhandle, where we call home! As kids, we ate better while camping than we did any other time, so “gourmet camping” is kind of in my blood! The fact that many “camping foods” equate to beans and weenies, dry oatmeal or tuna out of a can just doesn’t fly with me (don’t get me wrong, I love me some good beans and weenies…but I love sweet potato hash even more!).
Although cooking over the campfire is one of our favorite things…we ADORE Grover’s Rocket Stove for the ease and efficiency of keeping your pan hot and getting your meal cooked quickly! It’s just more reliable than an open flame! Get yours here.

- 1-2 large russet potatoes cubed (or more sweet potatoes)
- 1 large onion chopped

- Heat a cast iron skillet (or other large pan) and add 1 Tablespoon avocado oil. Add sliced sausage and cook until browned.

Nutrition
The beauty of this meal is it’s all done in one pan (because you cooked the veggies ahead of time), and it whips up in a jiffy when you’re surrounded by hungry campers!
