Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 3 medium, diced into 1/2-inch cubes potatoes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 pound ground sausage
• 4 large eggs
• 2 chopped green onions
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove onions and garlic from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and toss in the diced potatoes. Season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Spread the potatoes out into an even layer and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender.

Step 4

Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the ground sausage to the empty space. Cook the sausage for 5-7 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, until browned and cooked through.

Step 5

Once the sausage is cooked, stir it together with the potatoes, onions, and garlic in the skillet to combine evenly.

Step 6

Use a spatula to create small wells in the skillet mixture, one for each egg. Crack a single egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Adjust cooking time for firmer eggs if desired.

Step 7

Sprinkle the top of the skillet with shredded cheddar cheese and green onions. Cover for another 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy this hearty dish on its own or with a side of toast or fresh fruit.
