A cast iron skillet of sausage, crispy potatoes, and scrambled eggs

Don't stir the potatoes too much — leaving them alone is how they get crispy.

How to make it

Cook the sausage. In a big skillet on medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up, till browned. Scoop it out and set it aside.
Crisp the potatoes. Melt the butter in the same skillet, add the potatoes, onion, and bell pepper, and cook about 15 minutes, stirring only now and then, till the potatoes are golden and soft inside.
Add the sausage back. Stir the sausage back into the skillet.
Scramble the eggs. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper, then pour over everything in the skillet.
Cook the eggs. Stir gently till the eggs are just set and fluffy.
Top with cheese. Sprinkle the cheese on top if you're using it, put the lid on for a minute till it melts, then serve.
