Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 pound Hot sausage
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 medium Bell pepper (red or green)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes. Dice the onion and bell pepper. Mince the garlic.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced potatoes in an even layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn golden brown.
Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter, and sauté the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until softened. Mix together with the potatoes, season with salt, black pepper, and paprika, and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Break up the hot sausage into chunks and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Return the potato and vegetable mixture to the skillet with the cooked sausage. Stir to combine evenly throughout the skillet.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sausage and potato mixture.
Crack the eggs directly over the skillet, spacing them apart. Cover with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your preferred doneness (runny yolks work wonderfully for this dish).
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (if desired) and serve hot directly from the skillet. Enjoy your Cheesy Potato Hot Sausage Breakfast Skillet!
