Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Vegetables

4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced (approximately 21 oz)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, diced (optional)

Meat

4 hot dogs or sausages, sliced into 0.4-inch rounds

Eggs

4 large eggs

Others

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

Cook the potatoes: 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 they are golden and beginning to soften.
Add vegetables: Incorporate the chopped onion and diced bell pepper if using. Continue cooking for 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
Brown the sausage: Stir in the sliced hot dogs or sausages and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until they develop a light brown color.
Season the hash: Sprinkle the mixture with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine the flavors evenly.
Add eggs: 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.
Cook eggs to desired doneness: Cover the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until egg whites are set and yolks remain runny, or cook longer to desired firmness.
Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

You can substitute hot dogs with sausage links or smoked sausage for different flavors.
For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper while cooking the vegetables.
Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a sweeter taste and a nutritional boost.
Make sure the skillet is well-oiled before cracking the eggs to prevent sticking.
Covering the skillet helps cook the eggs evenly and sets the whites while keeping yolks runny; adjust timing for preferred doneness.
