Carmelized Shallot, Kale, and Sausage Hash

This recipe came from Meaningful Eats and it has quickly become one of our favorite dishes! I have made it quite a few times in the last month. Don't be scared of the kale, or shallots. Just give it a try as is and see how amazing it is.

Ingredients

For the Potatoes:
• 2lbs Yukon gold potatoes, wash and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (peeling is optional, but recommended)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil + more for cooking
• 1/4 teapoon salt
For the hash:
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 4 large shallots (or 6 small shallots), thinly sliced
• 3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt (or regular salt)
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• pinch of cayenne
• 2 fully cooked sausages, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1/2 bunch kale, ribs removed and very thinly sliced (I prefer Italian aka Lacinato or dinosaur kale)
• optional: fried eggs and hot sauce for serving

Instructions

1. Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a large glass, microwave-safe bowl. Toss with the olive oil and salt. Microwave on high for three 5-minute increments. 15 minutes total, stirring every 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium in a nonstick or cast iron skillet and add the sliced shallots. Cook on medium-low, stirring often until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Transfer the shallots to a bowl and wipe out the pan.
3. When the potatoes are done, heat 2 more tablespoons olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the potatoes and sausage in an even layer and let cook without moving for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne over the potato mixture.
4. Stir and continue to cook until soft, about 5 minutes longer. Add the kale and caramelized shallots. Cook until the kale is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Serve with fried eggs and hot sauce if desired. Leftovers reheat great. Enjoy!
