Instructions
Step 1: Start your home fries by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden, stirring occasionally.
Step 2: When potatoes are almost done, add the diced red bell pepper, onion, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until vegetables soften.
Step 3: In a separate skillet, cook the sausage links over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until browned on all sides. Set aside on a paper towel.
Step 4: For the pancakes, whisk together flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl. In another bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Step 5: Mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined, small lumps are okay. Heat butter in a griddle or skillet over medium heat.
Step 6: Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 7: For scrambled eggs, whisk 4 eggs with 2 tbsp milk, salt, and pepper. Melt 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 8: Pour egg mixture into the skillet and gently scramble until soft curds form, about 3-4 minutes. Add shredded cheddar cheese in the last minute and stir gently.
Step 9: Arrange all components on a plate, top pancakes with butter and maple syrup, and serve immediately while everything is hot.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Pancakes and home fries store best in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat pancakes in a toaster or skillet over low heat for best texture.
Scrambled eggs are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored separately. Home fries reheat wonderfully in a skillet with a splash of oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
Sausage links keep well refrigerated and can be quickly warmed in a skillet or microwave. For the ultimate experience, prepare this breakfast fresh whenever possible.
