- 2 cups of frozen hash browns (or fresh, if you prefer)
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter

Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: If using fresh hash browns, peel and grate the potatoes. Dice the onion and bell pepper. If using sausage links, remove the casings and crumble the sausage.
- Cook Sausage: In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add crumbled sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Remove sausage and set aside, leaving drippings in the pan.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft. Optionally, add red pepper flakes for spice.
- Cook Hash Browns: Add hash browns to the skillet with vegetables. Spread evenly and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Combine Ingredients: Return cooked sausage to the skillet. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until beaten. Pour over the sausage and hash brown mixture. Stir gently and cook for 3-4 minutes until eggs are fully cooked.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture. Cover with a lid and let sit for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.
