Units
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to crisp.

- Stir in cooked sausage or bacon and smoked paprika, if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the skillet.
- Make 4 wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add jalapeños or hot sauce.
- Use sweet potatoes instead of russet potatoes for a twist.
- You can finish cooking the eggs under a broiler for firmer yolks.
- Make it vegetarian by omitting meat or using plant-based sausage.
