Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 6 pieces breakfast sausage links
• 1 medium-sized onion
• 1 medium-sized red bell pepper
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash, peel, and dice the potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes (about 1/2-inch).

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, dice the onion and red bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves and slice the sausage links into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and fully cooked.

Step 6

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Return the crispy potatoes to the skillet and mix everything together. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Spread the mixture evenly across the skillet.

Step 8

Make 4 small wells in the skillet mixture, and crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or to your preferred doneness).

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, recover the skillet, and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately, ensuring each serving includes an egg. Enjoy your delicious eggs, sausage, and potato skillet!
