Ingredients
7 medium potatoes (peeled and diced), 10 sausage links (sliced 1/2"), 3 (15-oz) cans beans (drained and rinsed), 1 large onion (finely chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, 10 large eggs (or 4–6 for fewer servings).
Step-by-step method
1) Peel and dice potatoes into 1/2" cubes; rinse. 2) Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add potatoes in an even layer; cook undisturbed 6–8 min to brown. 3) Toss, reduce to medium, cover and cook 8–10 min until tender, stirring occasionally. 4) Meanwhile slice sausages and chop onion and garlic. Push potatoes to one side, add remaining oil, brown sausages ~5 min. 5) Add onion; cook 3–4 min until softened, add garlic 30 sec. 6) Stir sausages, onion, garlic and smoked paprika into potatoes. 7) Fold in drained beans and warm 2–3 min. Season with salt and pepper. 8) Make 4–10 wells, crack an egg into each, cover and cook 3–6 min to desired yolk doneness. 9) Sprinkle parsley and serve hot.
Timing, yield and tips
Prep 15 min, cook ~20 min. Makes about 6–8 main-course servings (or 8–10 with fewer eggs). For crisper potatoes cook a bit longer undisturbed; parboil potatoes 5 min to speed cooking. Swap smoked paprika for chili powder for heat, or use one less sausage and add bell pepper for more veg.

FAQs
Can I use different beans?
Yes — cannellini, pinto or kidney beans all work; drain and rinse well before adding.
How do I keep eggs from overcooking?
Cover the skillet just until whites set; remove from heat early — residual heat finishes the yolks.
Can I make this ahead?
Make the hash up to step 7, cool, refrigerate 2 days; reheat in a skillet and add fresh eggs before serving.
