Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 400 g frozen potatoes Break up while spreading in the dish.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For greasing the baking dish.
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 450 g chicken sausage, sliced Can be substituted with plant-based sausage for a vegetarian option.
  • 150 g baby spinach
  • 6 large eggs
  • 200 g salsa Use hot salsa for a spicier flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (about 10 minutes).
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, diced onion, and chicken sausage. Sauté until the onion is tender and the sausage is browned (about 6 to 8 minutes).
  • Grease the bottom and sides of a 9x13 baking dish with olive oil or an oil spray.
  • Spread the frozen potatoes in the bottom of the greased baking dish. Top with fresh spinach and the sautéed onion and chicken sausage.
  • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, salsa, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the layers in the baking dish.

Baking

  • Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set in the center. Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

To avoid common mistakes, ensure the dish is well-greased, avoid adding excess liquid, and let the casserole rest before slicing for cleaner pieces.
