Ingredients

• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
• 1 pound ground sausage (pork or turkey)
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Sausage and Potato Skillet with Fried Egg

1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the halved baby potatoes and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
2. Add the ground sausage to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the sausage is browned and cooked through, ensuring there are no pink bits remaining.
3. While the sausage and potatoes are cooking, in a separate non-stick pan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set, but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes. If you prefer over-easy eggs, gently flip the eggs and cook for another minute.
4. Once the sausage and potatoes are ready, remove the skillet from heat. Divide the sausage and potato mixture among plates and top each serving with a fried egg.
5. Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, add some minced garlic or onion when cooking the sausage.
• If you like a little spice, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes to the sausage as it cooks.
• Ensure the eggs are at room temperature before frying for the best results.

Easy Variations

• Swap out baby potatoes for sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile.
• Use plant-based sausage for a vegetarian option.
• Add vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to the skillet for extra nutrition.
• Try different herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, in place of chives.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side
• Toast or crusty bread to soak up the egg yolk
• A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette
• Coffee or fresh juice to complement the meal
