Sausage and Potato Scramble

My sister, Carolyn and Brother in-law, Randy stayed at our house the other weekend after a wedding. Will and I babysat Camden and they came back to our house after the wedding. It was their first big night out since Camden was born, so I knew they would need a hefty breakfast in the morning. This is the perfect breakfast or brunch meal. It's savory, filling and oh so delicious!

Sausage and Potato Scramble

Ingredients

4 eggs

5 yukon gold potatoes, peeled & chopped
2 tablespoons of bacon grease (or unsalted  butter)
2 yellow onions, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
3/4 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Thyme
1/2 teaspoon Rosemary
1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1/2 teaspoon Sage
Salt + Pepper
16 ounces of Sausage

Directions

1. Add the bacon fat or butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, reduce the heat to medium and add in your chopped potatoes. Sauté for 10-15 minutes until they are golden brown.

2. While your potatoes are sauteeing, brown your sausage meat in another pan over medium heat.

3. Add the onions and your red and green pepper to the potatoes and sauté for another 5 minutes.

4. Add in your spices and sausage and stir everything in the pan well to meld all of the spices and flavors together.

5. Deglaze the pan with about 1/3 - 1/2 cup of water being sure to scrape up all of the browned bits on the bottom of the pan.

6. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

7. Continue to saute everything until your water is reabsorbed and the potatoes are completely cooked (take one out of the pan and try it!). Also, while tasting the potatoes to assure its cooked, decide if you need to add any more S + P.

8. Using a spoon, make 4 shallow "holes" in the mixture and crack an egg in each hole. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the egg whites set (it took exactly ten minutes for me). Remove from the oven.

Serve and enjoy!
