Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 medium russet potatoes
• 8 ounces ground sausage
• 6 medium tomatillos
• 1 small yellow onion
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1 small jalapeño
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 whole lime
• 4 large eggs
• 0 optional hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Husk and rinse the tomatillos under warm water to remove their sticky residue. Dice into small chunks and set aside.

Step 3

Finely chop the yellow onion and jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat, if desired). Mince the garlic.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Crumble the ground sausage into the pan and cook over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium and add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the tomatillos, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the tomatillos to soften and break down slightly.

Step 8

Return the potatoes and sausage to the skillet, mixing everything together. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Use a spoon to create four small wells in the hash mixture. Crack one 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, or to your preferred doneness.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro over the top. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the hash for brightness.

Step 11

Serve immediately, with optional hot sauce on the side for added heat.
