Ingredients
  

For the potatoes:
  • 2 medium russet potatoes diced into small cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp parsley
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the sausage mixture:
  • ½ lb ground pork season with the following seasonings OR use ground breakfast sausage (or soy chorizo for a vegetarian option)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper optional
  • ¼ tsp dried sage or thyme
For serving:
  • 3 eggs scrambled or cooked to your liking
  • 1 ripe avocado sliced
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 2 tbsp salsa verde
  • Fresh cilantro optional

Method
 

  1. Roast the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
  2. Cook the sausage: When the potatoes have about 10 minutes left, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and sage. Cook for about 8 to 9 minutes until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
  3. Scramble the eggs: In the same skillet (just whip it with a paper towel), heat up a little bit of olive oil. scramble the eggs until just set and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide the crispy potatoes between two bowls. Top with the sausage, then the eggs, then add sliced avocado on the side. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa verde. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro if you’d like.

Notes

To meal prep, roast the potatoes and cook the sausage ahead of time. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days, then just scramble eggs and assemble your bowls in the morning!
