How to Make Sommer's Special Scramble

  1. In a large skillet, brown and crumble the pork sausage over medium-high heat until cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  2. If needed, add 1 tablespoon of canola oil to the pan.
  3. For extra crispy sausage, cook until well-done.
  4. While the sausage cooks, peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Thinly slice the onion and cut the slices into quarters.
  5. Once the sausage is cooked, remove it from the pan with a slotted spoon and place it in a bowl lined with a paper towel to drain excess grease. Keep warm.
  6. Leave as much sausage drippings as possible in the pan.
  7. Add 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine to the pan and melt over medium-high heat. Add more if needed later.
  8. Add the potatoes, onions, and optional green peppers to the pan. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
  9. Flip the potatoes to ensure even browning.
  10. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Stir, cover, and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
  11. Uncover and cook for 5 more minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and browned, and the onions are caramelized.
  12. Add more pepper and garlic powder to taste.
  13. Transfer the potatoes and onions to the bowl with the sausage. Keep warm.
  14. If needed, melt a minimal amount of butter or margarine in the pan. Add the eggs (or egg substitute).
  15. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
  16. Let the eggs sit for a few seconds to firm up, then scramble until cooked to your liking.
  17. Just before the eggs are done, add the sausage and potato/onion mixture to the pan.
  18. Stir everything together until heated through.
  19. Serve immediately and enjoy!
