🥔🍳 Eggs and Potatoes Never Tasted So Good!

If you’re looking for a comforting meal that’s crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and bursting with flavor — this Eggs and Potatoes Skillet is the one. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner, it’s made with simple ingredients but tastes like pure comfort food!

🧂 Ingredients

For 2–3 servings:

  • 3–4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small bell pepper (optional), diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (optional for color and flavor)
  • Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Grated cheese (optional — cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan)

🍳 Instructions

  1. Boil or Parboil the Potatoes
    • Place the diced potatoes in salted water and boil for about 5–7 minutes, just until slightly tender (not mushy).
    • Drain well and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Fry the Potatoes
    • Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the potatoes and cook until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the Aromatics
    • Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet.
    • Cook for another 3–4 minutes, until the onions become soft and fragrant.
    • Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  4. Make Space for the Eggs
    • Push the potato mixture to create small wells.
    • Crack the eggs directly into each well.
  5. Cook the Eggs
    • Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook over low heat for about 4–6 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolks.
    • Sprinkle a little cheese on top if desired.
  6. Garnish and Serve
    • Once done, remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or green onions.
    • Serve hot — straight from the pan!

🧡 Tips & Variations

  • Add cooked sausage, bacon, or ham for a heartier version.
  • Sprinkle chili flakes or hot sauce for a spicy twist.
  • Use sweet potatoes instead of regular ones for a sweeter, more nutritious version.
  • Turn it into a baked casserole by transferring the mixture to an oven-safe dish and baking at 180°C (350°F) for 10–15 minutes.

🍽️ Serving Suggestion

Serve with fresh bread, toast, or a side salad.
It’s perfect for lazy weekend mornings or as a quick dinner after a long day — simple ingredients, big flavor, and satisfaction in every bite.
