This is the sort of thing that exists because somebody looked at a full breakfast and thought: "Yeah... but what if we made it worse in the best possible way?" Crispy fries loaded with smashed sausage patties, bacon, fried eggs, melted cheese, breakfast gravy, and enough flavour to fix almost any bad decision made the night before. Breakfast. Takeaway. Complete madness.

Mix the sausage meat with the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Form into rough smash-burger style patties.
Air fry at 190°C for 8–10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
During the final 5 minutes add the bacon and cook until crispy.
Meanwhile prepare the gravy.
Melt the butter in a saucepan.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously.
Season with black pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
Cook until thick and smooth.
Fry or air fry the eggs to your preferred doneness.
Pile the fries into a large serving tray.
Break up the sausage patties and scatter them over the fries.
Add the crispy bacon.
Top with both cheeses.
