Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
- Stir in the crumbled sausage and continue cooking until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about another 8-10 minutes. Ensure everything is well mixed.
- While the potato and sausage mixture cooks, in a separate skillet, cook the eggs to your desired level of doneness (fried, scrambled, or poached).
- Once the potato and sausage mixture is ready, divide it evenly among four bowls.
- Top each bowl with a cooked egg, a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, and a scattering of chopped green onions for freshness and flavor.
Tips
- For extra flavor, consider adding spices like paprika or cayenne pepper to the potatoes and sausage while cooking.
- You can also add other toppings such as avocado, salsa, or hot sauce for an added kick!
- For a vegetarian version, substitute sausage with plant-based sausage or sautéed vegetables.
