Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and peel the potatoes, then slice them thinly for even cooking.
Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the potato slices and fry, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and tender.

2. Sauté the Aromatics

Add the sliced onion to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent.
Stir in the finely chopped garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Make sure not to let the garlic burn.

3. Cook the Sausage

Push the potatoes and onions to one side of the skillet. Add the sliced sausage to the other side.
Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sausage is browned and slightly crispy. Mix everything together in the skillet.

4. Make the Egg Mixture

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.

5. Add the Eggs to the Skillet

Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the potatoes, onions, and sausage.
Stir gently, scrambling the eggs and distributing the ingredients evenly.
Cook slowly for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still moist.

6. Serve and Garnish

Remove the skillet from heat.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired. Pair with toast or a side salad for a complete meal.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute the sausage with plant-based sausage or sautéed mushrooms.
Add shredded cheese on top of the eggs for extra richness.
Sweet potatoes can be used instead of regular potatoes for a healthier twist.
Make sure to cook the eggs on low heat to keep them tender and moist.
