This Sausage Potato Egg Skillet is made with butter, oil, Yukon potatoes, breakfast sausage, eggs, scallions, and cooked to a nice crisp.

This is such a hearty delicious breakfast that is quick, filling, and flavorful. The word hash means a dish that usually consists of chopped meat, potatoes and fried onions. It was the best way to use up leftovers in the US during the 18th century, but eventually became a widely eaten, popular dish.

This dish is super cheesy, easy to make and ready in 25 minutes. It can be eaten at any point of the day, whether it be for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I like to cover the pot for the first ten minutes to ensure the potatoes and meat are cooked through, and cooking, uncovered, for the rest of the time to ensure the crispy result.

Hint: Cover until the cheese completely melts.

Substitutions

Cheese: You will need any neutral cheese that melts easily. Use mozzarella, pepperjack or Oaxaca cheese.

Eggs: I would use high quality eggs for this dish for the best flavor. I used cage free organic eggs.

Potatoes: I love using Yukon gold potatoes for this, but any potatoes will work as long as they are diced well. The smaller the size, the faster it will cook.

Sausage: You can use breakfast sausage patties or links, as long as you break them apart as they cook with a wooden spoon.

Variations

Cooking is a chance to be creative! Have fun with it and feel free to make your own variation.

  • Spicy - add chili pepper flakes in with the potatoes, or top with hot sauce at the end.
  • Deluxe - add guacamole, crispy onions or extra cheese.
  • Kid friendly - add crushed potato chips (ketchup chips!)

Equipment

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides.

I love using my Caraway pots, pans and baking sheets for best quality. Get yourself a discount by clicking here!

Storage

This will be good in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

These Sausage Potato Egg Skillet ingredients don't stand up well to freezing.

Top tip

The smaller the potatoes are cut, the faster they will cook through. Make sure to taste the potatoes before adding the cheese and eggs.
