Tips for this recipe:
Try it with parsnips! - I originally made this dairy free hashbrown casserole with shredded parsnips, but they are harder to find at the grocery store so typically do white potatoes. If you can get parsnips, I highly recommend trying those!
Not dairy free? - If you aren’t dairy free, you can totally make this hashbrown casserole with some shredded cheese! I recommend a mild white cheddar.
This can be a side or a main - One thing I love about this hashbrown casserole is that it is hearty enough to be a main meal but it can also be paired with quiche, candied bacon, or whatever you please!

INGREDIENTS:
4 cups shredded potatoes (or parsnips)
1 lb sugar-free breakfast sausage
10 lg eggs
1 cup coconut milk, full fat
½ cup chopped yellow or sweet onion
2 Tbsp tapioca starch
1 Tbsp coconut oil
½ tsp sea salt + addtl to taste
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp dried basil
¼ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp ground sage
¼ tsp black pepper
Nutritional yeast or shredded cheese, to taste *OPTIONAL
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Shred your potatoes/parsnips using a food processor or hand grater.
Brown the sausage on your stove on medium heat. Salt and pepper the meat to your liking. Once cooked completely through, set the meat aside and clean out any excess fat from the pan.
Melt 1 Tbsp oil in the same pan. Sauté the potatoes and onion covered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly softened.
In the meantime, crack your eggs into a large bowl and whisk.
Stir in your coconut milk, nutritional yeast (if using) and all herbs/seasonings.
Add potatoes/onion and meat to the bowl and stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 4 quart casserole dish.
Bake for 45-50 minutes until completely cooked through. Note: if you use a regular baking dish, your casserole will likely cook quicker so start checking on it about 35 minutes in.
Once the casserole is done, remove and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
