#### 1. Prepare the Potatoes
Start by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes (or frozen hashbrowns) and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, then remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
#### 2. Cook the Sausage
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and crumble the sausage into the pan. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the sausage is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once cooked through, remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside with the potatoes.
#### 4. Assemble the Skillet
Return the cooked potatoes and sausage to the skillet with the vegetables. Mix everything together so that the sausage, potatoes, and veggies are evenly distributed. At this point, you can sprinkle some cheese on top (optional) and let it melt as you prepare the eggs.
#### 5. Add the Eggs
Create small wells in the mixture for the eggs. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet, one at a time. Season the eggs with salt and pepper, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. If you prefer your eggs cooked more through, you can cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
#### 7. Enjoy!
Scoop the skillet into bowls or serve it family-style for everyone to dig in. This hearty, satisfying breakfast will keep you full and energized all morning long.
