Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 eggs
- 2 scallions
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and dice them into small, 1/2-inch cubes. Place the diced potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent oxidation and remove excess starch.
Dice the onion and bell peppers into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. Slice the scallions thinly and set them aside for garnish.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel, then add them to the skillet in an even layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the breakfast sausage. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside with the potatoes.
Add the remaining butter to the skillet, then toss in the onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the cooked potatoes and sausage to the skillet, stirring everything together. Cook for another 3-4 minutes to heat through and combine the flavors.
In a separate non-stick skillet, fry the eggs to your desired doneness (sunny-side up, over-easy, or fully cooked).
Divide the hash mixture among 4 plates and top each with a fried egg. Garnish with sliced scallions and a drizzle of hot sauce, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty Lumberjack Hash!
