This is a great breakfast with minimum effort and best of all will free up your healthy extra's for later in the day, while still being high satiety. I love serving this with either a fried, poached or scrambled eggs and a little fresh salsa (store bought is synned, so be sure to check the syns of the one you use or make your own using free ingredients. The actifry is great for dishes like this, don't be afraid to use it for other things besides syn free fries.
Don't worry if you do not have an actifry, this can also be cooked in the oven.
You can also double or triple up this recipe and then add it to a lidded tub and place in the fridge, that way all you have to do is heat up each morning. You can heat it up in the actifry, a skillet or the oven.

Can you use vegetarian sausage and could I swap sweet potato for a regular potato
yes I don't see why vegetarian sausages would not work. Regular potato should be okay too but may require longer cooking time.
