Description

A hearty and convenient one-pan breakfast with crispy potatoes, savory ground meat, and runny eggs, perfect for busy mornings or leisurely weekends.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Yukon gold or red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/23/4 lb ground breakfast sausage or ground beef
  • 1 diced onion
  • 1 diced bell pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 4 eggs

Instructions

  1. Parboil the potatoes in boiling water for 3–4 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
  2. In a hot 10-inch skillet, brown the ground meat over medium-high heat, breaking it apart. Remove excess fat.
  3. Sauté the diced onion and bell pepper until soft.
  4. Add the parboiled potatoes and cook undisturbed for 6–8 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Return the browned meat to the skillet and season with smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and thyme.
  6. Create small wells in the mixture and crack the eggs into them.
  7. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low, cooking for 4–6 minutes for runny yolks, or transfer to a preheated 350°F oven for 5–8 minutes to set the eggs more firmly.

Notes

Serve with chopped parsley or chives, hot sauce, and buttered toast for a complete meal. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated easily.
