👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Preparation

🥔 Step 1: Prepare the Home Fries

Wash and dice potatoes into small cubes (even size helps cooking)
Soak in cold water for 10–15 minutes (removes excess starch)
Pat dry completely
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat
Add potatoes and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally
Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder
Cook until golden, crispy outside, soft inside

👉 Pro Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan—crispy edges need space!

🥩 Step 2: Cook the Sausage Patties

Mix sausage with spices in a bowl
Shape into 4–6 equal patties
Heat skillet over medium heat
Cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side
Ensure they are browned and fully cooked inside

👉 Pro Tip: Don’t press them down—juices keep them flavorful.

🍳 Step 3: Make Cheesy Scrambled Eggs

Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper
Melt butter in a non-stick pan over low heat
Pour in eggs gently
Stir slowly using a spatula
When eggs are soft and slightly runny, add cheese
Remove from heat while still creamy

👉 Texture goal: soft, fluffy, and slightly glossy

🍽️ Step 4: Assemble the Plate

Add crispy home fries
Place sausage patties beside them
Spoon cheesy scrambled eggs on the side
Sprinkle fresh parsley if desired

Serve immediately while everything is warm and fresh.
