Ingredients

12 oz kielbasa sausage, sliced 1/4-inch
1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, diced small
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
8 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup whole milk
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb diced small Yukon Gold potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, about 8 minutes.
3

Add 1 medium diced yellow onion, 1 diced red bell pepper, and 12 oz sliced 1/4-inch kielbasa sausage to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables soften and the sausage is browned, about 5 minutes. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook 1 minute more. Season with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika.
4

Transfer the skillet mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread in an even layer.
5

In a bowl, whisk together 8 beaten large eggs and 1/2 cup whole milk. Pour evenly over the sausage and potato mixture. Scatter 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top.
6

Bake uncovered until the eggs are set and puffed and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 160 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes.
7

Let rest 5 minutes, garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, and serve.
