Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) spicy Italian sausage, casings removed

1 lb (450g) red potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 red bell pepper, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

4 large eggs (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Boil the Potatoes: Start by placing the diced red potatoes in a medium-sized pot. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes, or until they are just tender but not falling apart. Once done, drain the potatoes and set them aside.

    Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spicy Italian sausage and use a wooden spoon to break it up into smaller pieces. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the sausage is nicely browned and cooked through. Once ready, remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside in a bowl.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Then, add the finely chopped onions, diced red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn translucent and fragrant.

        Combine Ingredients: Carefully add the boiled potatoes to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Gently stir everything together, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the potatoes to crisp up and turn golden brown.

          Add the Sausage: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, mixing it thoroughly with the potato mixture. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes just to heat everything through and meld the flavors.

            Optional Eggs: For a rich and delicious touch, create 4 small wells in the hash mixture using the back of a spoon. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low, cooking for about 4-5 minutes or until the eggs are set to your desired doneness.

              Garnish & Serve: Once done, remove the skillet from heat. Generously garnish the hash with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve hot and enjoy straight from the skillet!
