Easy Sausage & Potato Breakfast Hash
Quick and easy savory breakfast potatoes with pre-cut hash brown's flavored with Herbs de Provence and laden with crumbled sausage and cheese!
Ingredients
- 1 lb Jimmy dean sausage (We like the maple)
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 bag southern style frozen hash browns, thawed
- 1 Tbsp Herbs de Provence
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp fresh black pepper
- 1-1/2 cups shredded cheese (I like 3/4 cup of sharp and 3/4 cup Italian blend)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, break up the sausage into little pieces and brown till it has just a nice little crisp on it. Remove the sausage from the skillet and place in a small bowl to the side.
- Add the butter and olive oil to the skillet, let the butter melt, then add the hash browns.
- Sprinkle with the Herbs de Provence, salt and pepper, toss together, then arrange the potatoes in as single of a layer as you can and let the hash browns cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping them every couple of minutes and pushing them back in to a single layer, so they get nice and crispy and cooked through.
- Add the sausage back in, toss and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the potatoes, cover the skillet with a lid and turn off the heat. The cheese will melt beautifully and you are ready to serve it up!
- Serving Suggestions: We like to serve with a couple of eggs with a runny yolk over the top! I like to garnish mine with some fresh chopped parsley. My hubby likes to add a drizzle of maple syrup on his.
