Ingredients
  

  • 2.0 medium-sized russet potatoes
  • 1.0 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1.0 small onion
  • 1.0 cup cooked breakfast sausage
  • 3.0 cloves garlic
  • 4.0 large eggs
  • 1.0 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.0 to taste salt
  • 0.0 to taste pepper
  • 2.0 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.0 to taste fresh parsley
  • 0.0 to serve hot sauce or salsa

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Potatoes: Start by boiling the diced potatoes in salted water for about 5-7 minutes until slightly tender but still firm. Drain and let them cool for a few minutes.
  • Cook the Vegetables: In a large, cast-iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced bell peppers and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
  • Add the Sausage: Stir in the crumbled sausage and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing it to brown slightly and pick up some flavor from the veggies.
  • Incorporate the Potatoes: Carefully add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
  • Add Garlic: In the last couple of minutes of cooking, stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Create Wells for Eggs: Using a spatula, make four small wells in the hash mixture, and crack an egg into each well. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Cover and Cook: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the eggs are set to your liking (longer for firmer yolks).
  • Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot with optional hot sauce or salsa on the side.

Notes

Optional: add hot sauce or salsa for serving.
