Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 eggs
- 1 tbsp butter (for eggs)
- Salt + black pepper
- 2–3 sausage links (breakfast sausage or smoked sausage)
- 2–3 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp oil (for frying potatoes)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
- 2–3 slices of bread (for toast)
- Butter (for toast)
Instructions
- Crispy Skillet Potatoes: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced potatoes, season with salt and pepper (plus garlic powder and paprika if using), and cook for 12–15 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden and tender.
- Brown the Sausage: In a separate pan, cook sausage links over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, turning often, until browned and cooked through.
- Fluffy Scrambled Eggs: Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Melt butter in a nonstick pan over low heat, add eggs, and scramble gently until just set and fluffy.
