4 medium potatoes

1 pound sausage
0.5 cup onions, diced
0.5 cup bell peppers, diced
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
0.25 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions
- Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, ensuring that they are evenly sized for even cooking.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the diced potatoes until they start to turn golden.
- Add the sausage to the skillet, breaking it up into pieces as it cooks fully, alongside the potatoes.
- Toss in the diced onions and bell peppers, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are softened, about five minutes.

- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the skillet, covering evenly, then cover with a lid until the cheese melts.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving hot directly from the skillet.
