Ingredients
- 4 medium (peeled and diced) Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces (crumbled) Breakfast sausage
- 1 medium (diced) Yellow onion
- 1 medium (any color, diced) Bell pepper
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks (sliced for garnish) Green onions
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Step 2
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the crumbled breakfast sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Step 4
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet, stirring everything together. Sprinkle in the paprika, remaining salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 6
Using a spoon, create 4 small wells in the mixture. Crack a large egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny (cook longer if firmer yolks are desired).
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the skillet and cover again for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese melts.
Step 8
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving. Serve warm directly from the skillet and enjoy!
