Ingredients

• 3 medium potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 ounces ground sausage
• 2 medium bell peppers (assorted colors, diced)
• 1 medium onion (diced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 4 large eggs
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 stalks green onions (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Add the ground sausage to the same skillet and cook over medium heat, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet. Add the bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

Return the cooked potatoes and sausage to the skillet, mixing everything together. Spread the mixture evenly in the skillet.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low. Using the back of a spoon, create four small wells in the mixture. Crack an egg into each well.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and cover again for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
