Ingredients

• 3 medium russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 8 ounces breakfast sausage
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small 1/2-inch cubes. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a clean towel.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced potatoes in an even layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the breakfast sausage, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside with the potatoes.

Step 4

Add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Return the cooked potatoes and sausage to the skillet, stirring everything together. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.

Step 6

Using a spoon, create 4 small wells in the mixture and crack one egg into each well. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or to your desired doneness).

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover again for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve the skillet hot. Enjoy!
