Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles with a spoon, until fully browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage and set aside.
Dice the yellow onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
Add the onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Return the cooked potatoes and sausage to the skillet. Sprinkle in the paprika, salt, and black pepper, and stir everything together to combine evenly.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the skillet mixture.
Using a spoon, create 4 shallow wells in the skillet. Crack one egg into each well.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny (or to your preferred doneness).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty Country Skillet!
