Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 medium russet potatoes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 pound breakfast sausage
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 4 large eggs
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Crumble the breakfast sausage into the skillet and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and fully cooked. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 4

Dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

Add the diced vegetables (red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion) to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes until they are softened. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute.

Step 6

Return the cooked potatoes and sausage to the skillet, stirring to combine with the sautéed vegetables. Create 4 small wells in the mixture using the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Crack one egg into each well. Sprinkle the eggs with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your preference.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover again for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve the breakfast skillet warm and enjoy!
