Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces ground sausage
- 2 medium bell peppers (assorted colors, diced)
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks green onions (chopped)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the ground sausage to the same skillet and cook over medium heat, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet. Add the bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
Return the cooked potatoes and sausage to the skillet, mixing everything together. Spread the mixture evenly in the skillet.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Using the back of a spoon, create four small wells in the mixture. Crack an egg into each well.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and cover again for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
