Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 medium russet potatoes, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Protein
- 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 4 large eggs
Other Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cook Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to develop crispiness, then stir occasionally for another 10 minutes until they are golden brown and tender. Transfer the potatoes to a plate to reserve.
- Brown Sausage: In the same skillet, cook the ground breakfast sausage over medium-high heat until fully browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Sauté the sliced onion and bell peppers over medium heat until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 6–8 minutes. Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, cooking for an additional minute to develop flavor.
- Combine and Heat Through: Return the cooked potatoes and sausage back to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for 2–3 minutes to blend the flavors and ensure everything is heated through.
- Fry Eggs: In a separate nonstick pan, fry the eggs to your preference. Sunny-side up or over-easy styles work best for presentation and texture.
- Assemble and Serve: Top the breakfast hash mixture with the fried eggs, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve the dish hot for a comforting and filling breakfast.
Notes
- For crispier potatoes, avoid stirring them too early when cooking.
- Ground turkey sausage can be a leaner substitute for breakfast sausage.
- Use fresh, firm bell peppers for the best texture.
- Adjust spices like smoked paprika and black pepper to taste for different flavor profiles.
- Try adding cheese or hot sauce as optional toppings for extra flavor.
