Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 8 ounces breakfast sausage
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small 1/2-inch cubes. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a clean towel.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced potatoes in an even layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the breakfast sausage, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside with the potatoes.
Add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the cooked potatoes and sausage to the skillet, stirring everything together. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.
Using a spoon, create 4 small wells in the mixture and crack one egg into each well. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or to your desired doneness).
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover again for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve the skillet hot. Enjoy!
