Ingredients
8 ounces Sage breakfast sausage
3 Russet potatoes, medium
½ cup Yellow onion, chopped
¼ cup Canola oil
3 dashes Ground black pepper
3 dashes Salt
4 Eggs
1 tablespoon Whole milk
2 teaspoons Butter
1 cup Canned refried beans
2 Pita pockets
1½ cup Shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup Salsa
Directions
Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into small to medium cubes.
In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the potato and onion mixture to the hot oil and stir occasionally as they cook for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
While the potatoes cook, crumble the sage breakfast sausage into a skillet over medium heat and cook until browned throughout, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and stir constantly with a spatula until the eggs are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Carefully cut each pita pocket in half and gently open the pockets. Stand them upright in a small casserole dish or oven-safe bowl, leaning them against each other if needed. Spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans inside each pita half using a spatula or butter knife.
Divide the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, salsa, fried potatoes, and cheddar cheese among the pita pockets, layering them inside.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 5 to 8 minutes, until the cheese begins to melt and the pitas are heated through.
Carefully remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot, with additional salsa on the side if desired.
Comments
Every ingredient is stocked at any Charlotte grocer—Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, Walmart, or ALDI—with no special stops needed. At roughly $8 to $10 total for two hearty servings, the cost per serving lands around $4 to $5, driven mainly by the sausage and eggs. The 45-minute stated time is honest if you account for dicing the potato and onion and cooking the sausage and potato hash before assembly, though a practiced cook might shave 5 to 10 minutes off. This is a straightforward skillet dish that reheats well in a microwave or toaster oven and works as either a weeknight dinner or weekend breakfast, though it does require active stovetop attention during the hash-cooking phase and is not a set-it-and-forget-it meal.
