Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cups diced russet potatoes
1 cup sliced smoked sausage
4 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced bell pepper (optional)
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2. Add diced potatoes and cook until golden and crispy, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add sliced sausage to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned.
5. Create small wells in the hash and crack an egg into each.
6. Cover and cook on low heat until egg whites are set and yolks are slightly runny, about 5 minutes.
7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the skillet and cover again to melt the cheese.
8. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions.
9. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Notes
To make the potatoes extra crispy, don’t overcrowd the skillet.
Cover the pan while cooking eggs for quicker, even doneness without overcooking the yolks.
