Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice sausages into 0.5-inch rounds. Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until hot, then brown sausage, ~4 minutes, breaking pieces apart as they cook.

  2. Step 2

    Add diced potatoes, spreading them flat. Cook without stirring for 4 minutes until the bottoms start to crisp and turn golden.

  3. Step 3

    Stir potatoes once, then add bell pepper and onion. Sauté for 3 minutes until the onion softens and potatoes are fork-tender.

  4. Step 4

    Push sausage and vegetables to the sides, creating 4 small wells in the center. Crack eggs into each well, season with salt and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Cover the skillet and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes until egg whites set but yolks still jiggle when shaken gently.

  6. Step 6

    Scatter cheddar over the top, drizzle with hot sauce, and sprinkle chili flakes. Serve hot with black coffee on the side.

Tools you’ll need
