Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Breakfast sausage
- 1 medium-sized Yellow onion
- 1 medium-sized Bell pepper (red or green)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally. Remove the cooked potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the sausage is browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet using a slotted spoon and set aside.
Dice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic cloves. Add all three to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Return the cooked potatoes and sausage to the skillet. Stir in the paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring everything is well combined and evenly seasoned.
Make 4 small wells in the mixture, spacing them evenly. Crack one egg into each well.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny (adjust cooking time to preference).
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the entire skillet and cover again for 1 minute, allowing the cheese to melt.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
