Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes, cut into fries
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup sausage, crumbled
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Wash and cut potatoes into uniform french fry-sized strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Toss potato strips with olive oil, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Spread potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer, season with salt and pepper.
- Bake potato fries for 15 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even crispiness. Potatoes should be golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
- In a large cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan, cook crumbled sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Add partially baked potato fries to the skillet with cooked sausage, mixing gently to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Create four small wells in the potato and sausage mixture. Carefully crack an egg into each well.
- Transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks are at desired consistency.
- Remove from oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately directly from the skillet for a rustic, hearty breakfast or brunch dish.
Tips
- For extra crispy potato fries, pat the potato strips dry with a paper towel before tossing with olive oil to remove excess moisture.
- Use a cast-iron skillet if possible, as it provides even heat distribution and creates a beautiful golden crust.
- Choose a high-quality sausage for maximum flavor - breakfast sausage or spicy Italian sausage work wonderfully.
- Keep an eye on the eggs during the final baking stage to achieve your preferred yolk consistency (runny, medium, or fully set).
- For added flavor, sprinkle some grated cheese over the dish in the last 2 minutes of baking.
- If you prefer a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the potato and sausage mixture.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal texture of crispy potatoes and perfectly cooked eggs.
