Sheet Pan Breakfast Hash with Sausage, Potatoes, and Eggs

Let's Cook

1. 1Prepare the ingredients

   5 min

   Start by washing and dicing potatoes and bell pepper into even-sized pieces, ensuring even cooking. Crumble the breakfast sausage into small chunks for maximum flavor distribution. Lay out the bacon strips and set aside. Measure out olive oil, salt, and pepper to have everything ready. This prep phase not only makes the cooking process smoother but also allows flavors to meld beautifully. If you have fresh herbs, chop those now too — they will add a lovely finish to your dish.

   A sharp knife makes prep faster and safer.

2. 2Preheat the oven

   5 min

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is ideal for roasting, helping the potatoes crisp up while allowing the sausage to brown nicely. An adequately preheated oven ensures even cooking and helps achieve that lovely golden color on your ingredients. While the oven is heating, you can go ahead and prepare your other ingredients, maximizing your cooking efficiency.

3. 3Toss ingredients in a sheet pan

   5 min

   In a large sheet pan, toss together the diced potatoes, crumbled sausage, and diced bell pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to mix everything until well-coated and evenly distributed, then lay the bacon strips on top. This step is crucial as it allows the flavors to combine and ensures that everything cooks evenly. Make sure the mixture is spread out in a single layer for optimal roasting. A crowded pan can lead to steaming instead of roasting.

   Using a spatula can help keep your hands clean!

4. 4Roast the hash

   20 min

   Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes. Stir the hash halfway through to promote even cooking and browning. You want the potatoes to become tender and the sausage to start browning. You'll know it's ready when the edges of the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on it to ensure nothing burns, as oven temperatures can vary.

   💡

   Set a timer to remind you to stir halfway through.

5. 5Fry the eggs

   7 min

   Once the hash is roasted, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the eggs one at a time, cooking until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, or to your preferred doneness. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

6. 6Garnish and serve

   5 min

   Once the hash is roasted and the eggs are fried, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped herbs to add a pop of color and freshness. Toast the bread slices in a toaster, or place them under the oven broiler for 1–2 minutes per side until golden. Top the hash with the fried eggs and serve warm alongside the toast — a hearty meal that's both nutritious and satisfying!
