Ingredients

  • •2 tablespoons oil
  • •½ pound Yukon gold potatoes
  • •1 green bell pepper
  • •1 yellow onion
  • •½ teaspoon sea salt
  • •¼ pound sausage
  • •6 eggs
  • •1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • •Chopped green onions
  • •ground black pepper

Equipment

Instructions

  1. 1Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the potatoes and cook, turning them occasionally, until they begin to brown, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. 2Add another tablespoon of oil and the green bell pepper. Saute for 5 minutes until beginning to soften, then add the onion and salt. Saute for about 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and beginning to take on color. Add the sausage and cook until browned.
  3. 3Thoroughly beat the eggs in a bowl. Once all the vegetables are soft and browned, lower the heat and push them to the sides of the pan. Add a bit of oil to the center of the pan, then add the eggs and the shredded cheese to the skillet. Use your spatula to scramble the eggs until they set. Then, fold the vegetables back into the mix.
  4. 4Remove from the heat and top with sliced green onions, cracked pepper, and hot sauce (optional).

Camp tips

  • • For the potatoes, use waxy types like Yukon Gold for better texture.
  • • Customize with different bell pepper colors or other toppings like cilantro or jalapeños.
