Whole 30 Whole30 Smoky Paprika Potato Sausage Breakfast Skillet
This one-pan breakfast is the kind of meal that makes waking up early feel completely worth it. Golden-edged Yukon Gold potatoes, crumbled pork sausage, and a colorful mix of red and green bell peppers come together in a cast-iron skillet with smoked paprika, cumin, and a touch of cayenne — it's smoky, hearty, and deeply satisfying. Four eggs are nestled right into the hash and finished in the oven, so every serving comes with a perfectly set white and a yolk that's still a little jammy in the center. One of the trickier parts of eating this way is finding breakfast sausage without added sugar, fillers, or off-plan preservatives, so checking your label before you shop is the one step that keeps this dish fully compliant. Everything else here — the potatoes, the olive oil, the spices — is straightforwardly clean. It feeds four straight from the skillet, which means less cleanup and more time to actually enjoy your morning. A handful of fresh parsley scattered over the top right before serving adds a bright finish that pulls the whole thing together.

Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the potatoes in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes, then stir and continue cooking for another 5–6 minutes, until the cubes are golden brown on most sides and just tender when pierced with a knife. Transfer the potatoes to a plate and set aside.
