4 small roasted potatoes, washed and diced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

For the skillet:
1 pack Amylu's maple apple chicken sausage links
5 eggs
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup frozen spinach

Instructions

1. Prepare the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the 4 washed and diced potatoes to a bowl of water for 10 minutes to soak, then dry with a paper towel. Add them to the sheet pan and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, and toss to coat. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and softened.

2. Prepare the skillet: Slice 1 pack of Amylu’s maple apple chicken sausage links into rounds. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the sausage with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Crack 5 eggs directly into the skillet, season with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and scramble gently. Stir in 1 cup of frozen spinach and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until warmed through and cooked.
   
   

3. Serve: Add the roasted potatoes to the skillet, toss everything together, and serve warm. Enjoy!

   
   

   
   

FAQs

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?

Yes! Fresh spinach works well in this recipe, just add a few big handfuls to the skillet at the end and let it wilt for 1 to 2 minutes.

Can I swap the chicken sausage for another protein?

Yes! Turkey sausage or breakfast sausage work well. For a vegetarian option, try plant-based sausage or add extra roasted veggies.

Do I need to soak the potatoes before roasting?

Soaking helps remove starch, making the potatoes crispier. If you’re short on time, you can skip this step or swap for ready-made hash browns which require less cooking time.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, this is a great meal prep recipe. Roast the potatoes and cook the skillet mixture ahead, then store them separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat everything together before serving.

What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?

Add a meal prepped portion to the microwave and heat for 1 to 2 minutes before serving.

Is this recipe good for meal prep?

Yes! It’s high in protein and balanced, making it perfect for a make-ahead breakfast. Divide into containers for grab-and-go meals throughout the week.

Can I add more vegetables?

Yes, more vegetables and colors are always great. Bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms would pair really well here. Just sauté them with the sausage before adding the eggs.

Is this recipe kid-friendly?

Yes, this is a kid-friendly recipe. The apple chicken sausage is slightly sweet and pairs well with eggs and potatoes. If cooking for kids, consider adding a side of ketchup.

Do I need a cast iron skillet?

A cast iron skillet works best for flavor and even cooking, but a stainless steel pan will work too.
