Ingredients
- •1 pound sunchokes, scrubbed and diced
- •8 ounces wild mushrooms, cleaned and roughly chopped
- •2 tablespoons olive oil
- •1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- •2 cloves garlic, minced
- •1 small onion, finely diced
- •1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- •1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
- •Salt and pepper to taste
- •1/2 cup heavy cream
- •2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- 1
Scrub the sunchokes thoroughly to remove any dirt, then dice them into small, evenly sized pieces.
- 2
Clean the wild mushrooms by gently brushing off any debris and roughly chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and unsalted butter. Once melted, add the diced sunchokes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- 4
Add the minced garlic, finely diced onion, fresh thyme leaves, and minced rosemary to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the onions are soft and aromatic.
- 5
Add the chopped wild mushrooms to the skillet and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid they release has evaporated.
- 6
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until the cream slightly thickens and coats the vegetables.
- 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the hash with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately, either as a standalone dish or paired with your favorite brunch or dinner accompaniments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are sunchokes, and can I substitute them with something else?
A: Sunchokes, also known as Jerusalem artichokes, are root vegetables with a slightly nutty and sweet flavor, similar to a cross between potatoes and artichokes. If you can't find sunchokes, you can substitute them with diced Yukon Gold potatoes, parsnips, or even sweet potatoes for a slightly different flavor and texture.
Q: Can I use a different type of mushroom if I don’t have wild mushrooms?
A: Yes, you can substitute wild mushrooms with cremini, shiitake, portobello, or even white button mushrooms. If using larger mushrooms like portobello, remove the stems and chop them into smaller pieces for even cooking.
Q: Can I make this recipe dairy-free or vegan?
A: To make this recipe dairy-free, replace the unsalted butter with a plant-based butter or additional olive oil, and swap the heavy cream for coconut cream or a cashew-based cream. To make it fully vegan, ensure that the butter substitute and cream alternative are vegan-friendly.
Q: Why are my sunchokes not getting crispy?
A: If your sunchokes aren't getting crispy, ensure they are diced evenly and not overcrowded in the skillet. Overcrowding can cause them to steam rather than crisp. Use medium heat and allow them to cook undisturbed for a few minutes before stirring to develop a golden-brown crust.
Q: Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can prepare the hash up to 24 hours in advance by cooking the sunchokes, mushrooms, and aromatics as directed, but leave out the cream. Store the cooked components in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, reheat the mixture in a skillet, add the cream, and cook until warmed through.
Q: How do I store and reheat leftovers?
A: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, transfer the hash to a skillet over medium-low heat and stir occasionally until warmed through. You may need to add a splash of cream or a drizzle of olive oil to refresh the texture.
Q: What are some serving suggestions or variations for this dish?
A: This hash pairs well with poached or fried eggs for breakfast or brunch. For dinner, serve it alongside roasted chicken, grilled steak, or as a vegetarian main dish with a side salad. You can also add cooked, crumbled sausage or bacon for extra protein, or toss in spinach or kale during the last few minutes of cooking for added greens.
