Introduction

Egg Potato Hash Hot Dogs is a hearty and flavorful breakfast dish combining crispy potatoes, savory hot dogs, and perfectly cooked eggs. This one-pan meal is easy to prepare and satisfying any time of day.

A white plate holds a dish with three sunny-side-up eggs arranged in a triangular shape, their bright yellow yolks shining against the white, slightly crisped edges of the egg whites. Surrounding the eggs is a layer of diced, golden-brown fried potatoes mixed with small pieces of green onion and lightly cooked translucent onions, adding texture and color. Scattered evenly over the potatoes and eggs are thick slices of browned sausage, their rich reddish-brown color contrasting with the yellow eggs and golden potatoes. The whole dish is sprinkled with fresh chopped green herbs, giving a fresh, vibrant finish. The plate sits on a white marbled surface, and soft natural light highlights the textures and colors of the food. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced (approximately 21 oz)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, diced (optional)
4 hot dogs or sausages, sliced into 0.4-inch rounds
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes until golden and beginning to soften.
Step 2: Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper if using. Continue cooking for 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
Step 3: Stir in the sliced hot dogs or sausages and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until they develop a light brown color.
Step 4: Sprinkle the mixture with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine the flavors evenly.
Step 5: Create four small wells in the hash mixture. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil if the skillet appears dry. Crack one egg into each well.
Step 6: Cover the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until egg whites are set and yolks remain runny, or cook longer to your desired firmness.
Step 7: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

Use smoked sausage or chorizo instead of hot dogs for a spicier flavor.
To make it vegetarian, omit the hot dogs and add more vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini.
Try adding a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top before covering the skillet for a melty finish.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave, covering the eggs separately to prevent overcooking.

FAQs

Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?

Yes, sweet potatoes work well and add a nice sweetness that complements the savory flavors. Adjust cooking time as needed to ensure they soften properly.

How can I make sure the eggs cook evenly?

Covering the skillet while cooking helps the eggs cook evenly by trapping heat and steam. Cooking on medium to low heat prevents burning the bottom while the eggs cook through.
