Sweet Potato Hash with Sage Brown Butter

Prep: 20 minutes mins
Cook: 20 minutes mins
Total: 40 minutes mins
Servings: 4 servings
Rate Pin Print
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 5 cups sweet potato, chopped into <1/2" pieces, (630 grams)
  • 2 cups celery, chopped, (270 grams)
  • 1 large shallot, chopped
  • 1/2 cup 50% less sugar dried cranberries, (40 grams)
  • 2 tbsp grass-fed butter, (1 oz)
  • 1 tbsp sage, chopped
  • 1 tsp Flavor God Garlic Lover’s Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Brown the butter by adding butter to a very small pan over medium heat. Melt butter and allow it to come to a boil. The butter will get frothy, then the froth will begin to subside (after about 5-7 minutes). At that point, add the sage and keep a close eye on the butter and watch for brown flecks to begin to appear in the butter. After the flecks appear, wait a minute or two longer for the liquid to develop a brown color and nutty aroma. Remove to a small dish to cool, leaving most of the brown flecks in the pan (you can strain it if desired). Set aside.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil until hot.  Add shallot and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add sweet potato and toss to coat with oil.  Add 1-2 tbsp of water to the skillet, then cover and allow sweet potatoes to cook down for about 10 minutes, tossing every few minutes.
  • Add celery, dried cranberries, and Flavor God seasoning to skillet, re-cover, and continue cooking down for about another 10 minutes or until sweet potatoes are fork tender, but not mushy.  Stir every few minutes to evenly cook.
  • Remove skillet from heat and toss with sage brown butter before serving.
