Ingredients
- 4 Side Delights® medium-sized Red potatoes
- 3/4 pound any variety ground breakfast sausage
- 2 cups spinach leaves
- 3 green onions
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine ground sea salt
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 ounces Cotija cheese
- Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream or plain greek yogurt, hot sauce
Preparation
- Prick each potato in several places with a fork.
- Microwave on high for about 9 minutes, or according to the microwave manufacturer instructions.
- Once tender, carefully move to a cutting board and cut each in half. Let cool.
- While the potatoes are cooking in the microwave, get started on cooking the sausage.
- Place the sausage in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- Stir it occasionally, breaking it into small pieces. Cook until no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
- While the sausage is cooking, chop all your vegetables and herbs.
- Roughly chop the spinach. Finely chop the cilantro. Slice the green onions and separate the whites and the greens.
- As the sausage finishes cooking, add the eggs to a medium bowl.
- Whisk in 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, the garlic powder, and chili powder.
- Continue to whisk until the whites and yolks are blended, about 15 seconds.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs.
- Cook, occasionally stirring for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the spinach and cook just until the eggs cook through and the spinach begins to wilt, 1 or 2 more minutes.
- While the eggs cook, you can begin to work on the potatoes. Roughly chop the potatoes (leave the skins on) and place in a medium bowl.
- Stir in the white portions of the green onions, 1/2 of the chopped cilantro, the remaining one tablespoon of olive oil, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper and the sea salt.
- Note: The ingredients should be mixed into the potatoes, but the potatoes should still be chunky.
- To assemble, arrange an equal portion of potatoes, eggs, and sausage in each of 4 bowls.
- Crumble the cotija cheese and sprinkle an equal amount over each bowl.
- Divide the remaining cilantro and the green portions of the green onions and sprinkle them into each bowl.
- Add your favorite toppings and serve.
