Ingredients
Scale
Produce
- 3 medium russet potatoes, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Meat
- 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 4 large eggs
Pantry
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
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 a crispy base, then stir occasionally for another 10 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Transfer cooked potatoes to a plate and set aside.
- Brown Sausage: Using the same skillet, add the ground breakfast sausage and brown it over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes until fully cooked through. Remove the cooked sausage from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables and Seasonings: Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers and sauté over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes until they become soft and slightly caramelized. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika and cook for 1 additional minute to develop the flavors.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked potatoes and sausage to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir everything together to combine well and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Fry Eggs: In a separate nonstick pan, fry the eggs according to your preference—sunny-side up or over-easy works best for this dish, providing a rich yolk to mix with the hash.
- Assemble and Serve: Top the warm breakfast hash with the fried eggs. Garnish generously with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter meat option.
- For extra veggies, add diced tomatoes or mushrooms along with the peppers.
- To make this dish gluten-free, just ensure your sausage does not contain any fillers with gluten.
- Leftover hash stores well in the refrigerator and reheats nicely in a skillet or microwave.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing the vegetables.
