Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Brown the Sausage: In a separate pan, cook sausage links over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, turning often, until browned and cooked through.
  3. 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.
  4. Toast It Up: Toast the bread until golden and butter it while hot.
  5. Plate & Serve: Add toast to the plate, top with eggs, pile on the crispy potatoes, and finish with sausage on the side. Serve hot.

Notes

This breakfast is easy to scale up for more people—just add more eggs, potatoes, and sausage. Swap in bacon or ham if you like, or add hot sauce or ketchup on the side.
