Instructions
- For the Skillet Savory Sweet Potatoes:
- Place a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- When hot, add sausage and break it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully done. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add remaining oil to the skillet. Sauté the diced onion, scraping up any browned bits.
- Add cubed russet and sweet potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Brown on all sides.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and cook for 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Add zucchini, green bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until just tender.
- Return sausage to the skillet, stir to combine, and adjust seasoning if needed.
- For the Parsley Scrambled Eggs:
- Crack eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk for 30 seconds.
- Add parsley and diced red onion, whisk to combine.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Pour in egg mixture and cook, gently whisking until eggs reach desired doneness.
- Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve alongside the skillet potatoes.
Notes
- You can prep the potatoes in advance to speed up morning cooking.
- Swap sausage with plant-based alternatives for a vegetarian version.
- Add shredded cheese or hot sauce for extra flavor.
