Sausage and Potato Breakfast Sandwich with Peppers and Onions

This breakfast sandwich includes onions, peppers, sausage, and potatoes, along with some cheese and a few condiments. Add whatever else you like to this!
The following recipe makes four sandwiches.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 white onion (cut into uniform thin slices)
  • 1 red bell pepper (cut into uniform thin slices)
  • ½ tsp Kosher salt (for the peppers and onions)
  • 4 Red Bliss potatoes (or Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 3 Tbsp sunflower seed oil
  • ½ tsp Kosher salt (or more, for the potatoes)
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ¼ tsp freshly-ground black pepper
  • 4 hot sausage links (or hot dogs if desired)
  • 8 slices Pepper Jack cheese (or cheese of choice)
  • 4 soft sandwich rolls
  • 4 Tbsp mayonnaise (for serving)
  • 4 Tbsp ketchup (for serving)

Instructions 

  • Preheat your oven to 375˚F.
  • Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced onions, and slowly caramelize the onions over medium heat for roughly ten minutes.
  • Add the sliced red bell pepper, and continue to cook while stirring until the onions and peppers are completely tender, or roughly fifteen more minutes.
  • Add Kosher salt to the peppers and onions.
  • While the onions and peppers are slowly cooking, cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and cook them in boiling water until tender.
  • Once boiled and completely tender, remove the cooked potatoes from the water and discard the cooking liquid.
  • Shake the potatoes in a colander or fine mesh strainer to rough-up the edges of the potatoes.
  • Toss the boiled potatoes in the sunflower seed oil, and add the Kosher salt, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, and freshly-ground black pepper.
  • Arrange the boiled potatoes on a parchment-lined sheet tray and bake the boiled potatoes in the oven at 375˚F for roughly 40 minutes, or until they are completely golden-brown and crispy on the outside.
  • Cook the sausage links in a sauté pan with some oil, until the sausages are fully cooked.
  • Lightly toast your sandwich rolls in the hot oven with the Pepper Jack cheese.
  • When the sandwiches are lightly toasted and the cheese is melting, remove the rolls from the oven and add a bit of mayonnaise.
  • Add the cooked peppers and onions from earlier, along with some of the crispy potatoes and cooked sausages.
  • Top with ketchup, if desired, and serve warm!

Notes

These sandwiches are best eaten hot.
