Ingredients
  

1 pound breakfast sausage (Italian or pork)

3 medium russet potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes

1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped

1 bell pepper (red, green, or yellow), diced

4 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley or chives, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Transfer the cooked sausage to a bowl and set aside.

    Prepare the Potatoes: In the same skillet, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced potatoes; season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.

      Add Vegetables: Toss in the chopped onion and bell pepper over the potatoes. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are soft and the potatoes are crispy.

        Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, allowing the flavors to meld for about 2-3 minutes.

          Add Eggs: Using a spatula, create four small wells in the sausage and potato mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Season the eggs with a bit of salt and pepper. Cover the skillet with a lid and let cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness (runny yolk or firm).

            Finish with Cheese: Once the eggs are cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover again for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley or chives, and serve warm. Enjoy your hearty breakfast!
