Breakfast Bowl with Frozen Diced Potatoes
This easy breakfast bowl is made with frozen diced potatoes, eggs, sausage, and cheese for a budget-friendly, customizable breakfast that is perfect to make ahead of time to enjoy all week.
Ingredients
- 28-32 oz bag frozen diced potatoes with onions and peppers (optional)
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage or 10-15 links
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese optional
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook your frozen diced potatoes in an air fryer or oven according to the package directions.
- Whisk the eggs, add milk, and season with salt and pepper. Then cook in a skillet or in the microwave (stirring every 30-45 seconds).
- While the eggs are cooking, heat the frozen sausage links or ground sausage in a skillet until browned and cooked through. (If using the sausage links, cut them into small pieces.)
- Once the potatoes, eggs, and sausage are cooked, it's time to assemble the breakfast bowls.
- Layer the crispy potatoes at the bottom of the bowl. Add the scrambled eggs, and top with the sausage, then sprinkle with the cheddar cheese and mozzarella (optional).
- Lastly, microwave for 30-45 seconds or until cheese has melted.
- Serve with some salsa or hot sauce.
Notes
Variations:
- Add more veggies to the breakfast bowl, like spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes.
- Try it with different kinds of cheese or add bacon or ham instead of sausage.
- Make a high-protein version by adding extra eggs with cottage cheese.
- If you are looking for a lighter option, use egg whites, reduced-fat cheese, turkey bacon, and veggies.
- Use tator tots instead of the diced potatoes and add some sausage gravy for a breakfast totcho bowl.
Helpful Tips:
- Cook your potatoes until they are extra crispy before adding your eggs on top.
- Don't overcook your eggs (keep them a little soft) as you will be warming up the cheese and you don't want them to harden.
- Meal prep for the week by making all the ingredients ahead of time, then assembling them into individual dishes. When you are ready to eat, just heat it in the microwave with the cheese on top.
Storage:
- Store in airtight containers for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, adding your cheese in the last 30 seconds to melt.
