Easy Barbecue Rooster Sweet Potato Hash Recipe
Usually, a hash is made with diced potatoes and leftover meats. In this recipe we use leftover braised chicken, sweet potatoes, barbecue sauce, and thyme. Instead of chicken you could use turkey or duck shredded leftovers.
This recipe is great for breakfast or for lunch adding a salad and a dollop of crème fraîche.
TIPS: As we use barbecue sauce in the mixture, it’s important to remember to squeeze the moisture out of the potatoes before mixing them with the other ingredients. And for the barbecue sauce you may use the one you like or the one we suggest here. See below for a quick and easy barbecue sauce recipe.
