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 & Dairy
- 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 4 large eggs
Other Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
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 crust to form, then stir occasionally for another 10 minutes until the potatoes are golden and tender. Remove the potatoes and transfer them to a plate.
- Brown Sausage: In the same skillet, add the ground breakfast sausage and cook over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables and Season: Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Sauté the sliced onion and bell peppers over medium heat until soft and slightly caramelized, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, and cook for an additional minute to release the flavors.
- Combine Hash: Return the cooked potatoes and sausage to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together to combine and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Fry Eggs: In a separate nonstick pan, fry the eggs to your preferred doneness. Sunny-side up or over-easy eggs work best to top the hash.
- Serve and Garnish: Place the fried eggs on top of the hash and garnish with the chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately while hot for a comforting and hearty breakfast.
Notes
- Russet potatoes are ideal for this recipe because they get crispy on the outside and tender inside.
- You can substitute breakfast sausage with turkey sausage or a vegetarian alternative if preferred.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red chili flakes with the spices.
- To make the dish gluten-free, verify that the sausage contains no gluten additives.
- This hash can be reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave but is best served fresh.
