Ingredients
Base recipe calibrated for 4 adults.
Get to the Point Execution
Toss 4 cups diced potatoes and 1 diced bell pepper with 2 tbsp oil, salt, and smoked paprika.
Spread on sheet pan and scatter 1/2 lb crumbled breakfast sausage throughout.
Roast at 400°F for 15 minutes until potatoes are golden and crispy.
Make 4 small wells with a spoon, crack an egg into each well, and bake 6–7 minutes until egg whites are set.
Step-by-Step Guided Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Dice 3 russet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and 1 red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Toss on a rimmed sheet pan with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Cut potatoes small (1/2-inch) so they cook and crisp rapidly in the oven without needing boiling.
Pinch 1/2 lb raw bulk breakfast sausage into bite-sized chunks and scatter evenly across the pan amongst the potatoes. Roast at 400°F for 15 minutes, stirring once with a spatula at 8 minutes.
Scattering raw sausage nuggets allows their seasoned fat to render and crisp the potato cubes.
Remove sheet pan from oven. Use the back of a large spoon to create 4 distinct nests or wells in the hot hash. Crack 1 fresh egg directly into each well. Season egg tops with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Creating deep wells prevents the egg whites from spreading thin across the entire baking sheet.
Return pan to 400°F oven. Bake for 6 to 7 minutes until egg whites are completely opaque and set, but yolks remain soft and runny. Scatter with sliced green onions and serve hot straight from the pan.
Pull the pan as soon as the whites turn solid — residual heat on the pan finishes setting the whites in 60 seconds.
Stop standing over a stovetop flipping individual eggs for 4 people. Roasting the hash for 15 minutes and baking all 4 eggs right in the pan means everyone gets piping hot eggs and crispy potatoes at the exact same second.
Bake 2 minutes longer if kids prefer firm, fully cooked egg yolks with no runny yellow.
