Ingredients
Gather Ingredients from the list below
5 patties Hometown Original Fresh Sausage Patties
 
1 tbsp. Olive oil
 
2 Medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced in 1/4" pieces
 
2 Garlic cloves, minced
 
2 tsps. Cumin
 
2 tsps. Chili powder
 
1/4 tsp. Black pepper
 
1/2 tsp. Salt
 
1 can Black beans, drained and rinsed
 
1 Ear of corn, sliced off the cob
 
4 Large eggs
 
1 cup Salsa or pico de gallo
 
1/3 cup Tortilla strips
Directions
1.
Dice scrubbed potatoes into 1/4-inch pieces (peeling is optional).
2.
In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, warm a bit of oil. Add minced garlic and cook until golden, about 2–3 minutes.
3.
Stir in the potatoes and season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 8–10 minutes until they start to crisp.
4.
Lower the heat to medium. Add black beans and cook for another 2–3 minutes. Push the mixture to the sides to make room for the sausage.
5.
Place Smithfield sausage patties in the center of the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes per side, then scatter fresh corn around the pan.
6.
Use a spatula to make 4 small wells in the mixture. Crack an egg into each and cook until the whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 5–8 minutes.
7.
Remove from heat, top with crispy tortilla strips, and serve with salsa or pico de gallo.
