Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
• 200 grams Chicken sausage, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 6 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling the russet potatoes. Cut them into small cubes, approximately 1/2 inch each. Rinse the cubed potatoes in water to remove excess starch and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the diced red and green bell peppers to the skillet. Continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the peppers start to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced chicken sausage and garlic cloves, cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Ensure the sausage is evenly browned.

Step 5

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, stirring to combine.

Step 6

In a separate large non-stick pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the rinsed, drained potato cubes, spreading them in an even layer. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy on the outside.

Step 7

While the potatoes cook, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 8

Push the cooked potato cubes in the skillet to create small wells and pour the whisked eggs into the open spaces. Let them cook until the edges start setting, then gently stir the eggs to scramble them into the potatoes.

Step 9

Mix the potato and egg mixture with the sausage and vegetables from the other skillet, combining all ingredients thoroughly.

Step 10

Cook everything together for an additional 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Step 11

Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
