Print Recipe

A hearty and flavorful breakfast skillet perfect for outdoor mornings, featuring crispy potatoes, smoky sausage, eggs, and peppers cooked in a cast iron skillet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced (about ½-inch cubes)
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or bacon fat
  • 6 breakfast sausages, sliced
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Hot sauce or ketchup (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the potatoes into about ½-inch cubes. Chop the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic. Slice the breakfast sausages into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Place a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or bacon fat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy on the edges, about 10-12 minutes.
  3. Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Then add the sliced sausage and cook until browned and heated through.
  4. Sprinkle smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the skillet contents. Create six small wells in the mixture and carefully crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and cook for 4-6 minutes, depending on desired yolk consistency.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat once eggs are cooked to preference. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot with optional hot sauce or ketchup.

Notes

Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for best results. Cook potatoes over medium heat to avoid burning and ensure a crispy texture. Create wells for eggs to cook evenly without flipping. Adjust heat carefully when cooking over an open fire. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
