Sweet Potato & Endive Hash Recipe with Sriracha Buttermilk Sauce
Sweet Potato & Endive Hash with a creamy Sriracha Buttermilk Sauce is a healthy and delicious way to do diner food.

When I think of eating breakfast or brunch at a restaurant, the first thing that pops to mind is hash browns (well, right after a rip-roaring Bloody Mary). Golden brown, slightly crispy potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to scrambled eggs or omelets. However, much to the despair of my complaining jeans, they are typically loaded with oil and are far from healthy. Have I got the solution for you!

First of all, pull out the sweet potatoes because, really, there is nothing better than a hash made with sweet potatoes. Sweet Potato Hash with Canadian Bacon, Red Pepper and Sage is one of my favorite breakfast recipes. But this hash doesn’t stop at potatoes.

What if I told you that there is a food that not only tastes good and is easy to prepare, but also boasts some impressive nutritional stats: 87 calories; 16 grams of dietary fiber; 6 grams of protein and healthy doses of Vitamins A, C, E and K; calcium; iron; and potassium? Pretty impressive. That’s all in one head of endive.

“Endive”…sounds kind of fancy, right? To be honest, this versatile veggie is no more difficult to prepare than a carrot. Either slice up the leaves crosswise or keep them whole and fill them with any type of tasty filling that suits your fancy.

And look at how pretty they are. That’s what I call a beautiful Valentine’s bouquet. Thank you, Discover Endive! (To learn more about endive, be sure to follow Discover Endive on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.)

Endive Valentine's bouquet by Cookin' Canuck

In this recipe, I sautéed sliced endive with boiled sweet and russet potatoes until the potatoes started to turn brown. And then comes the real kicker – a creamy sauce made of low-fat buttermilk and sriracha sauce (found in most supermarkets). One serving adds up to a mere 178 calories and 3.8 grams of fat. Now that’s the way to do hash!

The recipe:

The sauce:

In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce and salt until combined.

The potatoes:

Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add sweet and russet potatoes and cook until just tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Drain.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) set over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Stir in cooked sweet and russet potatoes and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes. Add the endive and green onions and cook until the potatoes are starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.

    This is leaps and bounds (and flights of fancy!) above the greasy hash browns that I would inhale after too-long college nights. 😉

    Endive is beautiful! Just saying the word, endive, makes me feel elongated and elegant. It looks lovely in your scrumptious hash! Gorgeous photos.

    P.S. I’m now craving a Bloody Mary.

    I have to thank my mother for introducing me to endive at such a young age. She’d use it in salads all the time and I just loved the bitterness. Until a few years ago, I had never thought to cook it… but recipes like this make me want to pull the skillet out and start chopping right away!
