• Potatoes – Yukon gold potatoes for the base of the potato hash.
• Smoked Sausage – You can use pork or turkey smoked sausage.

How to Make the BEST Skillet Potato Hash with Zucchini and Sausages Recipe

• Cook Sausage – In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sliced smoked sausage in a few drizzles of olive oil.

Kitchen Equipment to Make Smoked Sausage Zucchini Potato Recipe

• One large 12-inch skillet, either cast iron or stainless.
• Sharp knife and cutting board and a vegetable peeler to prep the vegetables.
• Large spoon for stirring.
• Measuring cups and measuring spoons.

Recipe Variations, Tips and Substitutions

• Sausages – You can use turkey sausage, beef sausages, polish sausage, chorizo, Italian sausages or pork sausage in this recipe. Kielbasa or andouille also works. Adjust the cooking time when using raw sausage in place of smoked sausage.
• Prep the Vegetables in Advance – This recipe takes less than thirty minutes to prepare making it low stress, too. You could cut the zucchini, bell peppers and onion in advance and pop them into the refrigerator in plastic storage bags until you’re ready to assemble the dish for cooking.
• Potatoes – You can use another variety of potatoes in this recipe. Russet potatoes, white potatoes, red potatoes or even halved baby potatoes. Please note, the cooking time may need to be adjusted depending on the type used, as the starch content varies.
• Veggies – You could use steamed broccoli florets or green beans in place of zucchini. You might also enjoy adding celery along with the bell peppers.
• Cheese – You can sprinkle the top with cheddar cheese at the end of cooking.
• Garlic – You could swap out garlic powder or granulated garlic in place of garlic cloves.
• How to Get the Best Char – It’s best to use a large skillet for potato hash to allow frying the potatoes in a single layer so they’ll char, and not simply steam. Once you add them to the pan, let them sit and avoid stirring too much or they may break apart.
• Serving Options – When do you serve potato hash? I serve this hash for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. There’s no wrong time of day for a quick skillet meal.
