Method
Cook the potatoes
- Heat the griddle to medium-high and add 2 tablespoons oil. You should see a light shimmer in the oil when it’s ready.
- Cook the diced potatoes for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy. Look for browned edges and reduced sticking as they crisp.
Cook sausage and vegetables
- Cook the breakfast sausage on another section of the griddle, breaking it up as it cooks. Continue until no pink remains and the sausage begins to brown.
- Add the remaining oil, onions, and peppers to the griddle, cooking until softened. Stir until the onions turn translucent and the peppers lose their crunch.
Assemble and finish with eggs
- Combine the potatoes, sausage, and vegetables, then spread the hash out evenly. Create 6 wells in the mixture so each egg has a spot to sit.
- Crack an egg into each well, then top with the shredded cheddar cheese. Cover if possible so the cheese melts and the whites set.
- Cook until the eggs reach your desired doneness. The yolks should look runny if you stop while they still jiggle slightly.
Season and serve
- Season with salt and pepper, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Finish with hot sauce on top for extra heat.
Notes
Pro tip: dice the potatoes small and keep stirring only occasionally so you build a crisp, browned layer. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in a hot skillet or on the griddle to re-crisp the potatoes. Freezing isn’t recommended for the best egg and cheese texture. For a lighter option, use turkey breakfast sausage and reduce the oil to 3 tablespoons.
