Ingredients

  • 3 pieces small russet potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 2 links sausages, sliced into rounds
  • 4 pieces eggs
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
  • 1 dash hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and dice them into small cubes (about 1/2 inch).

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced potatoes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the sliced sausages to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until they are browned and heated through.

Step 6

Return the crispy potatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables and sausage.

Step 7

Using a spoon, make four small wells in the mixture and crack one egg into each well.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the skillet and cook for another minute until the cheese has melted.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped parsley and a dash of hot sauce, if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Wakey Wakey Breakfast Skillet!
