    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!

    If this is your first time using your electric skillet, check out my tutorial for how to use an electric skillet and electric skillet temperature guide.

    Ingredients

    Electric skillet breakfast hash ingredients labeled on wooden background.
    • Yukon Gold potatoes - You can substitute with russet potatoes if preferred.
    • yellow onion - Or white onion.
    • Italian sausages - You will need to remove the casings from the sausages for this recipe. If you can find loose Italian sausage, you can use that instead, but make sure you get close to the same weight amount.
    • red bell pepper - Or any color of bell pepper that you enjoy most.
    • eggs - Eggs are optional but highly recommended for a full breakfast.

    *Check recipe card for ingredient amounts.

    Recipe Tweaks

    • More of a sweet breakfast person? Try it with maple sausage or drizzle it with a bit of maple syrup.
    • Onions and peppers not your style? This hash is just as delicious without them.
    • Try a different sausage like a breakfast sausage, vegetarian sausage, turkey sausage, etc.
    • Try topping it with some tomato gravy.

    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

    Recipe FAQs

    How long do leftovers last in the fridge?

    Store leftovers in a covered container for up to 4 days in the fridge. The eggs are best served immediately or eaten within 1 to 2 days.

    Are Italian sausages gluten free?

    Most Italian sausages are gluten free, consisting of ground pork and spices. If you're concerned about it, always check the label to be sure!
