Ingredients
  

1 lb breakfast sausage (Italian or spicy for added kick)

4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and black pepper, to taste

3 large eggs (optional)

Fresh parsley or chives, chopped, for garnish

Olive oil or your preferred cooking oil, for the skillet

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced potatoes, ensuring they are evenly spread out in the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to turn golden brown and are tender when pierced with a fork.

    Cook the Sausage: Once the potatoes are nicely browned, slide them to one side of the skillet. Add the breakfast sausage to the other side and use a spatula to crumble it as it cooks. Sauté the sausage for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until it is browned and fully cooked, ensuring to mix it with the potatoes once done.

      Add Vegetables: Incorporate the chopped onion and red bell pepper into the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften. Then, add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Stir everything together for another minute or until the aroma of garlic is fragrant.

        Egg Option: If you choose to include eggs, create small wells in the hash mixture using a spoon. Crack an egg into each well, spacing them evenly. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook to your desired doneness. This usually takes around 3-5 minutes for runny yolks and longer for firmer yolks.

          Taste and Adjust: Before serving, take a moment to taste the hash. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and black pepper if necessary, ensuring the flavors are balanced.

            Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish the hash with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot and enjoy this hearty breakfast or brunch dish!
