Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice sausage into 1/4-inch rounds. Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 60 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add sausage and cook, breaking into small bits, until browned on edges, about 4 minutes. Remove to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add diced potatoes and onion to the skillet; cook without stirring for 3 minutes until the bottom edges brown.

  4. Step 4

    Stir and cook until potatoes are fork-tender and crispy, about 5 more minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Return sausage to the skillet, push mixture to the sides, and crack eggs directly into the center well.

  6. Step 6

    Cover and cook until egg whites are set but yolks still jiggle, 2–3 minutes. Top with cheese and chives.
