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 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!

How to Make it
- Cook potatoes and onions. Heat an electric skillet to 300°F and add the olive oil. Add the cubed potatoes. Season with the salt and pepper. Give it a mix so that the potatoes are coated in the oil. Cover and cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the onions. Cover and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add sausage. Crumble the sausages into the pan. Add the red bell pepper and green onions and stir.
- Cover and cook. Reduce the heat to 250°F. Cover and continue cooking until the sausage and potatoes are cooked through (the potatoes should be fork-tender), another 10 minutes or so. Mix every few minutes. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper, if needed. Reserve.
- Fry the eggs. Turn the heat up to 275°F. Fry the eggs until desired doneness.
- Serve. Serve the eggs on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle with Himalayan salt and chopped parsley. Enjoy!

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.
- 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.
Storage
Store 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.
