Ingredients
  

1 pound breakfast sausage (links or ground, your choice)

4 medium-sized potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold or red potatoes are ideal)

1 medium onion, diced

1 bell pepper, diced (choose your favorite color)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Salt to taste (start with about 1 teaspoon)

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for added heat)

4 large eggs

2 tablespoons olive oil (or your preferred cooking oil)

Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and season them generously with salt and black pepper. Cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes achieve a lovely golden brown color and become tender. To expedite cooking, feel free to cover the skillet with a lid to trap heat.

    Cook the Sausage: If using a separate pan, or once the potatoes have finished, add the breakfast sausage to the skillet. If using sausage links, carefully remove the casings and crumble the sausage into the pan. Cook over medium heat, browning the sausage until fully cooked, which should take about 6-8 minutes. Once browned, remove from heat and set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet containing the potatoes, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Stir and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables soften. Incorporate the minced garlic, paprika, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring until the garlic is fragrant.

        Combine Ingredients: Once the vegetables are tender and aromatic, return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Stir everything together to combine, and taste the mixture. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

          Cook the Eggs: Create four small wells in the sausage and potato mixture. Crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the eggs to cook for about 4-5 minutes, checking for your preferred level of doneness (whether you prefer runny yolks or fully cooked eggs).

            Serve: Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives for added color and flavor. Serve hot, presenting the skillet at the table for a wonderful communal breakfast or plate each serving individually for a more formal touch.
