Cook potatoes:

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook stirring occasionally for 10–12 minutes until golden and starting to soften.

Add veggies:

Add the chopped onion and bell pepper (if using). Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.

Brown sausages:

Stir in the sliced hot dogs or sausages. Cook for 3–4 minutes until lightly browned.

Season:

Sprinkle with smoked paprika salt and black pepper. Mix well.

Make wells & add eggs:

Create four small wells in the hash. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil if the pan looks dry. Crack an egg into each well.

Cook eggs:

Cover the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny (or to your desired doneness).

Garnish & serve:

Remove from heat garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
