Tools You'll Need

• Large skillet (preferably cast iron or non-stick)
• Cutting board and sharp knife
• Measuring spoons
• Spatula or wooden spoon
• Mixing bowl (optional)
• Paper towels

Ingredients

• 1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, your choice)
• 4 medium russet potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 2 green onions, sliced
• Optional: shredded cheddar cheese, hot sauce, avocado

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside, leaving drippings in the pan.
3. Add potatoes to the same skillet. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
4. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil if needed, then add onions and bell peppers. Cook for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are tender.
5. Add minced garlic, smoked paprika, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Return cooked sausage to the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
7. Create 4 small wells in the hash mixture. Crack one egg into each well.
8. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for 5-7 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny (or to your preferred doneness).
9. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley and green onions.
10. Serve immediately directly from the skillet or plate individually.

Pro Tips

• Dice potatoes uniformly for even cooking
• Don't overcrowd the skillet – cook in batches if needed
• Use the sausage drippings to cook potatoes for extra flavor
• Parboil potatoes for 5 minutes to reduce cooking time
• For extra crispy potatoes, don't stir too frequently
• Covering the skillet helps cook eggs evenly without flipping

Recipe Variations

• Sweet Potato Hash: Use sweet potatoes instead of russet
• Vegetarian Version: Substitute sausage with plant-based sausage or extra vegetables
• Spicy Southwest: Add diced jalapeños, corn, and black beans
• Cheesy Hash: Sprinkle with shredded cheese during last few minutes of cooking
• Italian Style: Use Italian sausage and add zucchini and mushrooms
• Leftover Makeover: Use leftover roasted potatoes or vegetables
• Breakfast Burrito Filling: Serve wrapped in tortillas with salsa
