Ingredients
  

2 large russet potatoes, diced

1 cup baby spinach, chopped

1 bell pepper (red or green), diced

1 small onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 large eggs

1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (or any protein of choice)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings: sliced avocado, salsa, fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro)

Instructions
 

Potato Preparation: Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and allow it to warm.

    Cooking Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. If needed, cover the skillet for a few minutes to help them cook through.

      Add Veggies: Once the potatoes are cooked, add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables have softened. Stir in the garlic and chopped spinach, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

        Incorporate Protein: Add the crumbled breakfast sausage (or your chosen protein) to the skillet and mix well to combine everything.

          Create Wells for Eggs: Using a spatula, create four wells in the mixture in the skillet, and crack an egg into each well. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

            Cover and Cook: Lower the heat and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness (less time for runny yolks, more for fully cooked).

              Add Cheese: Remove the lid and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hash. Cover again for a minute until the cheese melts.

                Serve: Once everything is cooked, remove from heat. Top with optional toppings such as avocado, salsa, or fresh herbs. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious breakfast hash!
