Method
Preheat and crisp the potatoes
- Heat a Blackstone griddle to medium-high and add 2 tablespoons oil. Let the oil shimmer before adding potatoes.
- Cook diced potatoes for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy. Keep the heat steady so the edges brown instead of steaming.
Cook sausage and soften vegetables
- Cook the breakfast sausage on another section of the griddle, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook until browned through.
- Add the remaining oil, onions, and peppers to the griddle and cook until softened. Stir occasionally so nothing burns on the hot surface.
Combine, fry eggs, and finish with cheese
- Combine potatoes, sausage, and vegetables on the griddle. Mix well so the crispy potatoes coat evenly with the savory bits.
- Create 6 wells in the hash and crack an egg into each well. Make sure each egg sits in its own space for even doneness.
- Top with shredded cheddar cheese and cover if possible, then cook until eggs reach your desired doneness. Watch for set whites and a yolk texture you like.
- Season with salt and pepper, garnish with parsley, and serve with hot sauce. Add hot sauce at the table for adjustable heat.
Notes
Pro tip: keep the potatoes diced small and resist over-stirring until they’re browning—this builds the crisp layer. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet or on the griddle for best texture. Freezing isn’t recommended for fried eggs, but you can freeze the potato-sausage mixture and re-crisp it, then fry fresh eggs when serving. For a lower-fat option, use turkey breakfast sausage and reduce cheddar to 1 cup.
