Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Seasoning

  • 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Sausage and Vegetables

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 6 ounces breakfast sausage or diced bacon
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (optional)

Eggs and Toppings

  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Dice the potatoes into uniform ½-inch cubes for even cooking. Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl and toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Cook the Potatoes: Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned potatoes evenly. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden and crispy outside, tender inside. Remove and set aside.
  3. Cook the Sausage or Bacon: In the same skillet, add breakfast sausage or diced bacon. Cook over medium heat, breaking into small pieces, until browned and fully cooked (5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside, leaving some fat in the pan.
  4. Sauté the Vegetables: Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil if needed. Cook onion and bell pepper for 3-4 minutes until softening. Add mushrooms, cook 4-5 more minutes until golden. Stir in spinach during last minute to wilt.
  5. Combine Everything: Return potatoes and sausage/bacon to the skillet with vegetables. Stir to combine and spread evenly.
  6. Add the Eggs: Make four small wells in the hash using the back of a spoon. Crack one egg into each well. Cover skillet, reduce heat to low. Cook 5-7 minutes for runny yolks, or additional 2-3 minutes for fully cooked yolks.
  7. Optional Toppings: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the hash during the last minute of cooking. Garnish with fresh parsley.
  8. Serve: Serve the Loaded Breakfast Hash directly from the skillet. Pair with toast, avocado slices, or hot sauce as desired.

Notes

  • Use a cast iron skillet if possible for even cooking and crispiness.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit sausage/bacon and use plant-based sausage or extra vegetables.
  • Potatoes can be parboiled briefly to reduce cooking time if desired.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or oven.
  • Adjust seasoning according to taste preferences.
  • Fresh herbs like chives or thyme can be used instead of parsley for garnish.
