Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (peeled and diced) Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces (crumbled) Breakfast sausage
- 1 medium (diced) Yellow onion
- 1 medium (any color, diced) Bell pepper
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks (sliced for garnish) Green onions
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the crumbled breakfast sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet, stirring everything together. Sprinkle in the paprika, remaining salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Using a spoon, create 4 small wells in the mixture. Crack a large egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny (cook longer if firmer yolks are desired).
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the skillet and cover again for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese melts.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving. Serve warm directly from the skillet and enjoy!
