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)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Make 4 small wells in the mixture, spacing them evenly. Crack one egg into each well.

Step 7

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).

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the entire skillet and cover again for 1 minute, allowing the cheese to melt.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
