- 1 tablespoons olive oil, (if needed)
- 1 yellow onion, medium, diced
- 2 carrots, medium, peeled and diced

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan, cook the ground breakfast sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat from the pan, reserving about 1 tablespoon of drippings. Remove the cooked sausage and set aside.
⏱️ 7 min - 2
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet if needed (to supplement the reserved sausage drippings) over medium-high heat. Add the diced russet potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and starting to brown.
⏱️ 12 min - 3
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced yellow onion and carrots to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and become translucent.
⏱️ 7 min - 4
Stir in the diced bell pepper and zucchini. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
⏱️ 5 min - 5
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Add the minced garlic, fresh spinach, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme. Stir well to combine. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted.
⏱️ 3 min - 6
Spread the hash mixture evenly across the bottom of the skillet. Increase the heat slightly to medium-high and allow the hash to cook undisturbed for 5 to 7 minutes to develop a crispy, golden-brown crust on the bottom. Do not stir during this time.
⏱️ 7 min - 7
Serve the hearty sausage and vegetable hash immediately as a satisfying main dish.
