Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 4 cups hash browns Frozen or thawed shredded potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil For frying hash browns and preventing sticking
  • to taste salt For seasoning
  • to taste pepper For seasoning
Protein Ingredients
  • 1 cup breakfast sausage Cooked and crumbled
  • 4 eggs Whisked
  • 1 tablespoon milk A splash to lighten scrambled eggs
Toppings
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese For richness
  • 1/2 cup salsa For brightness and mild heat
  • 1 medium avocado Diced
  • 2 tablespoons green onions Thinly sliced
  • to taste cilantro Chopped, optional

Method
 

Crisp the Potatoes
  1. Warm two tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thawed hash browns in an even layer and season with salt and pepper. Cook without stirring until the bottom is golden, then flip and cook until crisp.
Cook the Sausage
  1. Add one tablespoon of oil to the same skillet if needed. Crumble the breakfast sausage into the pan and break it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, then remove and keep warm.
Scramble the Eggs
  1. Whisk eggs with a splash of milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour into the skillet over medium heat and stir gently until softly set. Remove the eggs just before fully firm for a tender texture.
Assemble the Bowls
  1. Divide the crispy hash browns among four bowls. Top each portion with scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, and shredded cheddar. Add salsa, diced avocado, green onions, and chopped cilantro if using.
Serve
  1. Garnish as desired and serve hot. Eat right away to enjoy crisp potatoes and creamy eggs.

Notes

Use a hot pan and avoid crowding the skillet for the best texture. Cook sausage separately to prevent excess grease and remove eggs from heat while slightly soft.
