Mom’s Breakfast Hash

Heat the water in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Once hot add the sausage. Brown sausage slices on each side. Remove from skillet and set aside. (Sausage is fully cooked from the package so this doesn’t take long).

Heat half of the olive oil in a skillet on medium-high. Add the chopped onion and sauté until browned on the edges, stirring occasionally. This will take about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté a minute more.

Add the potato and remaining olive oil if pan is dry. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir around a little and let the potatoes start to brown then add 2 or 3 tablespoons of warm water (never add cold water to a hot pan). I add water to avoid adding more oil. Put a lid on top and let everything cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Poke the potatoes with a knife point to check for done-ness. The knife should slide through easily. If not, cook for a bit longer.

Add a soft cooked egg and the cooked sausage.

If you prefer scrambled eggs to an over-medium egg: In a small bowl beat 2 eggs with a fork until lightly frothy. Pour over the cooked potato mixture. Let it sit for about 30 seconds then stir slowly but continually until eggs are soft cooked to your liking. Add salt and pepper to taste
