Directions
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving about 1 tablespoon of drippings in the skillet.
- 2
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, spread them in an even layer, and cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until a deep golden crust forms on one side. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes.
- 4
Pour in the broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low, simmering for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- 5
Uncover the skillet, add the diced red bell pepper, cooked sausage, fresh sage, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir to combine.
- 6
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5-8 minutes, or until the bell pepper is tender-crisp and any remaining liquid has evaporated, allowing the potatoes to get a bit crispy again.
- 7
If desired, create four small wells in the hash and crack an egg into each. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and yolks are still runny (or to your preference).
- 8
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving directly from the skillet.
