Learn how to make this simply delicious vegan breakfast potato hash. It is full of flavor and made with easy-to-find ingredients that you may already have in your fridge and pantry.
Have you ever had a potato hash? We love making it when we are looking for a cozy weekend breakfast. Aside from the essential inclusion of potatoes, this breakfast hash is yours to customize. Whatever vegetables you have in your fridge, throw them into your hash!
Ingredients We Used
- Oil or vegan butter: We opt for avocado oil, but vegan butter works well, too!
- Yukon gold potatoes:
- Aromatics: The simple yet essential flavor base to start this dish off right. White or yellow onion, garlic, and red bell pepper, although you can choose spicy peppers if you like spice.
- Beans: We added black beans to this, but any beans of your choice should work.
- Greens: We wanted to make sure to incorporate some leafy greens, so we added some chopped kale. If you are not a fan of kale, spinach also works well.
- Vegan Sausage: This ingredient or any plant-based protein is optional but recommended! We loved Beyond Meat’s breakfast sausages; they’re not only incredibly delicious and reminiscent of what we remember sausage tasting like.
- Seasonings: We kept our seasoning simple and stuck to old bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.
While there are many different versions of potato hash, we did our best to keep this recipe simple. We are talking crispy potatoes, sizzling vegan breakfast sausage, kale, and bell peppers. Although simple, we promise that this recipe is jam-packed with flavor!
Other Add-Ins to Consider
- Mushrooms: Chop them small and add them in with the other vegetables.
- Vegan cheese: we like to mix it in to allow it to melt.
- Vegan egg: We tried this recipe using “Just Egg,” and it turned out great!
- Herbs: We like to add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, parsley, or even green onions on top when serving.
- Avocado: Great for adding on top when serving
- Toasted bread: Sourdough is our favorite bread to pair with this, but whatever bread you like should be fine!
Equipment
- Skillet: We recommend using a large cast-iron skillet to make this hash. If you don’t have one, a non-stick pan works great too!
- Spatula or mixing spoon

Learn how to make this simply delicious vegan breakfast potato hash. It is full of flavor and made with easy-to-find ingredients you may already have in your fridge and pantry.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or vegan butter
- 3 medium (400g) Yukon gold potatoes
- 1/2 large onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped vegan breakfast sausage (we used Beyond Meat)
- 1/2 can (8 oz.) black beans, drained and rinsed

- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, or as desired
- Salt and pepper, as desired to taste
Serve with
- Finely chopped cilantro or parsley for garnish
- 1 large avocado, sliced

Instructions
- Wash and dice the potatoes into 1/2″ cubes. Add them into a medium pot and cover them with water. Bring the pot to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. They should begin to become tender but not fully cooked. Drain.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add in the cubed potatoes and spread them out into an even layer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes without stirring or until browned.
- Add in the onions, garlic, bell peppers, vegan sausage, and old bay, and continue cooking until the potatoes are cooked through about 8-10 minutes.
- Mix in the kale and black beans. Allow it to cook for 2 more minutes or until the kale has softened and the beans have warmed.
- Remove from heat and adjust seasonings as needed—season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve with a garnish of fresh cilantro or parsley and avocado, along with a side of toasted bread. Enjoy!

Can’t wait to try this to switch up my breakfast options. Would this freeze okay for a few days? I feel like most prepared food doesn’t last for a full work week (5 days)
We haven’t tested it, but yes, it should freeze well 🙂
We doubled this and made it for ten people. It was a big hit. Very filling breakfast.
