Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 medium russet potatoes, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Protein
- 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 4 large eggs
Seasonings & Oils
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to allow browning. Then stir occasionally and continue cooking for another 10 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Transfer them to a plate and set aside.
- Brown Sausage: In the same skillet, add the ground breakfast sausage and brown it over medium-high heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, ensuring it is cooked through. Once done, remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Sauté the sliced onion and bell peppers over medium heat until they become soft and slightly caramelized, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, cooking for an additional minute to blend the flavors.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked potatoes and browned sausage to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine all ingredients and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Fry Eggs: In a separate nonstick pan, fry the eggs to your preferred doneness. Sunny-side up or over-easy eggs are recommended for this dish as they add a runny yolk that enhances the hash.
- Assemble and Serve: Top the hearty hash mixture with the fried eggs and garnish generously with the chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot immediately for a delicious breakfast experience.
Notes
- Use russet potatoes for best texture and crispiness.
- You can substitute breakfast sausage with turkey sausage or plant-based sausage for a leaner or vegetarian option.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and smoked paprika.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
