Description

A comforting and customizable breakfast dish featuring crispy potatoes, fluffy scrambled eggs, savory sausage, and melty cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups diced potatoes (russet or sweet)
  • 4 large fresh eggs
  • 1 cup cooked sausage (or plant-based alternative)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese
  • Toppings: chopped green onions, salsa, avocado, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes: Heat your skillet and add diced potatoes. Cook until they’re beautifully crispy and golden, about 8–10 minutes.
  2. Scramble the eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until light and smooth, then pour into the skillet and cook gently.
  3. Prepare the sausage: Add pre-cooked sausage or brown fresh sausage in the same skillet.
  4. Combine the ingredients: Mix everything together once cooked and seasoned.
  5. Add cheese and toppings: Sprinkle cheese over top and allow it to melt, then add your favorite toppings.
  6. Serve immediately: Enjoy the dish while hot and fresh!

Notes

Great for customizing with leftover vegetables or different cheeses. Can be made vegetarian by omitting sausage.
