Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound beef breakfast sausage (or turkey, or plant-based)
- 4 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 bell pepper (chopped)
- 1 small onion (chopped)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
- Shredded cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into small cubes, approximately ½ inch each. Chop the bell pepper and onion. This ensures even cooking and optimal flavor absorption. Aim to have all your ingredients prepped before starting to cook.
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the beef breakfast sausage. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up into small pieces as it browns. The sausage should be evenly browned and no longer pink. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, making sure to leave the drippings in the pan for added flavor.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once heated (about 1 minute), add the diced potatoes, chopped bell pepper, and onion. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. You’ll know they’re ready when they have crispy edges and a fork easily pierces the center.
- Add the Sausage Back: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Mix it with the sautéed vegetables and let it cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes. This step allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Cook the Eggs: In a separate pan, scramble the 4 large eggs over medium heat. Stir frequently and cook until they are soft and just set (about 3-4 minutes). You can also choose to fry them sunny-side up if you prefer. Avoid overcooking the eggs to maintain a fluffy texture.
- Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the sausage and potato mixture as a hearty base. Top with the scrambled or fried eggs. This layering creates a visually appealing dish that’s also satisfying.
- Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese and fresh parsley on top for added flavor and presentation. Serve immediately while warm for the best experience.
