🧂 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Make Space for the Eggs
- Push the potato mixture to create small wells.
- Crack the eggs directly into each well.
- 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.
- 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.
