Ingredients
  

For the potatoes
  • 1.5 lb Yukon gold potatoes cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
For the sausage
  • 1 lb pork breakfast sausage bulk
For the eggs
  • 8 eggs large
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 0.25 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp butter
For the bowls
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Equipment

  • 1 large rimmed baking sheet
  • 1 12-inch skillet
  • 4 microwave-safe meal-prep containers

Method
 

Roast the potatoes
  1. Heat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Toss the potatoes with the olive oil, kosher salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
  4. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 30–35 minutes, turning once, until browned and tender.
Cook the sausage
  1. Cook the sausage in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and it reaches 160°F.
  2. Transfer the sausage to a plate and drain excess fat from the skillet.
Cook the eggs
  1. Whisk the eggs, milk, and kosher salt in a medium bowl.
  2. Wipe out the skillet and melt the butter in it over medium-low heat.
  3. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, for 3–5 minutes until softly set and the eggs reach 160°F.
Assemble the bowls
  1. Divide the potatoes, sausage, eggs, and cheddar among four microwave-safe meal-prep containers.
  2. Cool the bowls for no more than 2 hours.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
  4. Reheat each portion, loosely covered, in the microwave for 1 1/2–2 minutes, stirring halfway, until it reaches 165°F.

Notes

Cut the potatoes into even 1/2-inch cubes so they roast at the same rate. Refrigerate covered for up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended because the eggs and potatoes may change texture. For a dairy-free swap, use unsweetened non-dairy milk and dairy-free butter and cheddar.
