Egg, Potato, and Sausage Skillet Recipe (1)

Happy Sunday. Our Sunday mornings usually consist of a yummy breakfast and this is one of our go-to favorites.

I usually whip this up on the stove while my husband and kids are on pancake duty . . . it’s one of my favorite things. Why can’t every morning be as wonderful (and delicious) as Sundays?

I usually get at least 8 servings out of this recipe, but I will portion out the leftovers in individual serving containers, stick them in the fridge, and then we have “to-go” breakfasts ready all week.

It beats cold cereal any day.

You can seriously throw it together in minutes, and it’s perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is so yummy.

why aren’t my eggs setting?

For this recipe, the eggs aren’t added until just about everything else is cooked, because the eggs cook fast.

However, if you add the eggs too early, it will effect the cook time of everything else. We recommend letting the frozen potatoes cook all the way through, before adding your eggs.

You can also stir in your eggs a little bit. Sometimes I will make the eggs scrambled with this recipe, because my kids love their eggs scrambled.

If you still feel like your eggs aren’t sitting up properly, you can also put them under the broiler for a minute or two.

This will also melt your cheese a little more thoroughly.

what sauce could i put on this?

My husband is a total sauce lover. He can’t have food without sauce. I personally can eat this without any sauce, but my husband sauces all his breakfast foods.

This recipe is really delicious with some sauces and toppings.

Here are a few we recommend:

  • salsa
  • hot sauce
  • buffalo sauce
  • pico de gallo
  • salsa verde
  • ketchup
  • A1 Steak Sauce (my husband loves this on his sausage and eggs…)
  • maple syrup (also a husband favorite. If it’s a breakfast food, it has syrup on it).

    Looks awesome. Would love to try this one soon! :)

  2. A Cook says:

    My eggs didn't set either :(

  3. Miriam says:

    Try putting under the broiler?

  4. Jennifer B says:

    The eggs don't set. :( You might want to revise this recipe.

  5. Liz says:

    My eggs didn't set either so I ended up just stirring everything together which worked better. Kind of bland, but with some added flavors, it was ok.

  6. JoAnn says:

    My eggs set and I had no problems at all! It was delicious!

  7. Maggie Galliher says:

    I've always finished cooking frittata in the oven after adding the cheese. That's way, the eggs set and the cheese melts and all is well.

  8. Penny says:

    I cook my sausage and if there is not much oil in the pan after it has browned, then I add about 15 beaten eggs and scramble till done. I also cook my potatoes o'brien separately with taco seasoning. Add cooked potatoes to the sausage egg mixture and spoon onto tortilla shells and top with cheese and salsa for a great breakfast burrito. They freeze well and reheat in the microwave nicely for breakfast on the go.

  9. Deb says:

    If your eggs didn't set be sure to THAW the potatoes and then cook them with the sausage for about 5 minutes before adding the eggs.

Can you cook sausage and egg in the same pan? ›

Cooking the links and eggs in the same skillet allows for several benefits. Makes for one of those easy keto breakfasts! First, less clean up. Yes, only one skillet.

Can I cook eggs in sausage grease? ›

Add the whisked eggs to the skillet with the sausage grease, and continue to cook them over medium heat, gently folding them as the eggs set. Cook until the eggs are set, but still moist. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Do I need to cook sausage before frying? ›

Sausages should reach 155–165°F (68–74°C). Alternatively, boiling them before cooking in a pan or on a grill can ensure that they're thoroughly cooked and remain moist.

Do we cook sausage before frying? ›

Dry the boiled sausages and then put them in a pan of hot oil. Since they are already cooked, you won't need to fry them for very long. The olive oil or butter you use will give the sausage a nice seer and it will provide the meat with more flavour. You can also throw in a few spices or onions and garlic if you want.

Do you fry both sides of an egg? ›

In both, the whites are set and the yolks are runny. The difference is that over-easy eggs are flipped before removing from the pan, while sunny-side-up eggs only cook on one side. Eggs over-medium and over-hard just require longer cook time on their flipped side so the yolk is semi or completely cooked, respectively.

Can sausages be cooked in a frying pan? ›

To cook sausages by frying, heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan. Cook the sausages gently in the oil for 10-12 minutes, until thoroughly cooked, turning frequently. Sausages can also be baked in the oven (a good method to use if you're cooking something else in the oven). Preheat the oven to 190°C, gas mark 5.

Is eating eggs and sausage healthy? ›

The foods people typically eat with eggs, such as bacon, sausage and ham, might do more to boost heart disease risk than eggs do. Plus, the way eggs and other foods are cooked — especially if fried in oil or butter — might play more of a role in the increased risk of heart disease than eggs themselves do.

What oil do you use to cook breakfast sausage? ›

If you are deep frying sausage use coconut oil, olive oil or avocado oil at 375. Used to work great when I worked in catering/food service. If you are pan frying just use 1 tablespoon of general canola cooking oil and just coat the pan. You can also use Pam type cooking spray for this also.

What is the best grease for frying eggs? ›

Butter certainly works for fried eggs, but oil is the fat of choice for cooks who want a runny yolk with a satisfying crispy white. Extra-virgin olive oil is most popular, and yields a satisfyingly crunchy bottom that will soak up luscious flavor.

What order should I cook breakfast food in? ›

Big Breakfast
  1. Cooking order is very important. Meat and potatoes first, eggs last.
  2. Temperatures are very important. 375 for meat, potatoes, and pancakes. 325 for eggs.
  3. Turn off an outside burner and use it as a warming space for your meat and potatoes.

Should I cook sausage or pancakes first? ›

When making these pancakes, you place the sausage on the hot griddle and then pour the batter right over it, so that the sausage cooks right into the pancakes. These pancakes feature Chinese sausage, which is already cured, so all you have to do is sear the slices before you pour the batter over them.
