Potato and Sausage Skillet
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Cut potatoes into small, uniform pieces and rinse under cool water until the water runs clear. Strain and dry the potatoes thoroughly.
- 2In a bowl, toss the dried potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- 3Roughly dice half of a large yellow onion and roughly chop a red bell pepper, removing the inner membrane. Set aside.
- 4Cut sausage into discs or halves.
- 5Heat a pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned and rendered.
- 6Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside. Add a little more olive oil to the pot if needed.
- 7Add the seasoned potatoes to the pot, spread them evenly, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until about 3/4 done, scraping the bottom of the pot.
- 8Add the diced onion and chopped bell pepper to the pot with the potatoes. Mix well and cook until slightly softened but still with some crunch.
- 9Return the sausage to the pot and mix everything together. Reduce heat slightly.
- 10Sprinkle a layer of melty cheese over the mixture.
- 11Crack eggs into the pot, spacing them out. Season the eggs with a little salt.

- 13Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Tips
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for this recipe.
- Cut potatoes to a uniform size for even cooking.
- Rinse potatoes thoroughly to remove starch.
- Dry potatoes well for better searing.
- Don't be afraid to salt potatoes heavily.
- You can use a pre-made spice blend if preferred.
- Roughly chop onions and bell peppers to a similar size as the potatoes.
- If the meat is very fatty, you may need to add extra oil for the potatoes.
- Cook potatoes until 3/4 of the way done before adding other ingredients.
- Scrape the bottom of the pot to incorporate flavor bits.
- Do not overcook onions and peppers; they should retain some crunch.
- If eggs are not setting, add a little water to the side to create steam.
- If you don't have air conditioning, consider finishing the dish in the oven to avoid heating up the kitchen.
