How to Make Best Ever Quick And Easy Spicy Breakfast Potatoes

Dice 2 pounds of potatoes into ½-inch cubes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, brown 1 pound of Jimmy Dean ground sausage (or your favorite brand) in a separate skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until cooked through and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the potatoes are cooked, add the cooked sausage (including the grease) to the skillet with the potatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk 2 large eggs. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the potatoes and sausage. Scramble until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in ½ cup of chopped green and/or red bell peppers and ¼ cup of chopped onion (optional).
Top with ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
Serve immediately and enjoy!
