Ingredients
- 4 medium golden potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces ground breakfast sausage
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dice the golden potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Leave the skin on for extra texture and flavor.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, in another skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground breakfast sausage and break it up with a spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes, until browned and fully cooked. Set aside.
Step 4
Push the cooked potatoes to one side of the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the empty side of the skillet.
Step 5
Crack the eggs directly into the buttered side of the skillet, ensuring they stay intact. Fry the eggs to your desired doneness (sunny-side-up works best for presentation).
Step 6
Sprinkle the fresh spinach over the potatoes and cover the skillet with a lid for 1-2 minutes to wilt the spinach.
Step 7
Evenly distribute the cooked breakfast sausage over the potato-spinach mixture. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and replace the lid for another 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
Step 8
Carefully plate the skillet mixture onto serving dishes, keeping the fried eggs on top for a beautiful 'sunrise' effect.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped green onions for a festive green touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
