Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 links chicken sausage, any variety
  • 2 medium-sized potatoes (Yukon Gold or russet), diced
  • 0.5 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 handful fresh spinach (optional), roughly chopped
  • to taste olive oil
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • pinch paprika (optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Large pot for boiling pasta
  • Tongs or a slotted spoon
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Dice the potatoes into half-inch cubes and toss with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  2. Slice the chicken sausage into rounds about a quarter-inch thick.
  3. Dice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add about one tablespoon of olive oil.
  5. Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer and cook without stirring for at least three minutes to develop a golden crust.
  6. Flip the potatoes after about ten minutes, then push them to the sides of the pan.
  7. Add the sliced chicken sausage to the center of the skillet and brown for 2-3 minutes on each side.
  8. Once the sausage is browned, stir in the onions and bell peppers and mix well. Cook for about five minutes until softened.
  9. Add minced garlic for the last minute of cooking.
  10. If using, add the spinach and stir until wilted (about 30 seconds).
  11. For sunny-side-up eggs, create wells in the vegetable mixture and crack the eggs into them, cover, and cook until the yolks are set. Alternatively, scramble the eggs separately and mix in.
  12. Serve hot with optional toppings of your choice.
