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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Dice the onion and bell peppers into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. Slice the scallions thinly and set them aside for garnish.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

In a separate non-stick skillet, fry the eggs to your desired doneness (sunny-side up, over-easy, or fully cooked).

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty Lumberjack Hash!
