This quick and easy electric skillet breakfast hash consists of Italian sausage mingling with the sweetness of sautéed onions and peppers, fried potatoes and topped with eggs fixed the way you like them. And, as a one-skillet wonder breakfast, cleanup is a breeze.
Imagine waking to the smell of fried Italian sausage with onions and red bell peppers. 15 minutes later, you take your first bite of crispy potato mixed with savory Italian sausage and finish off with the taste of salty, lush eggs. You can easily start your morning off right with this savory breakfast skillet dish.
I like to make this breakfast ahead of time and take it camping or cook it on the skillet right at the campgrounds. This electric skillet salmon and electric skillet mac and cheese are also great for camping or days when you don't want to heat up the house with your stove!

Make Ahead Tips
I know, mornings are hectic enough. This breakfast lends itself well to prepping the night before.
- If you hanker for a quick but fresh fried breakfast in the morning, remove the casings of your sausage and store your diced potatoes (in water) in the fridge. The next morning, simply pull out the sausage and potatoes from the fridge and follow the recipe.
- After peeling many sausages, I find the best and quickest way to remove the casing is to slice down the middle of the raw sausage, pry it open and pull the casing off in one piece.
- If you are more of a grab and go type, fry up all ingredients except the eggs and place your mixture in a container in the fridge.
- The next morning, mix your eggs into the container with the already cooked ingredients, place in the microwave for a minute or so and voila, sausage and egg hash to go.
Drinks to Serve it With
- Try a mimosa punch for the adults.
- This Orange Julius recipe is a classic.
- Make a mango pineapple smoothie.
