Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives), chopped
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
How to Make Eggs and Roasted Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- While the potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook to your desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes for sunny-side up or longer if you prefer them over-easy.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- To serve, place a generous portion of roasted potatoes on a plate, top with the cooked eggs, and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use a large enough baking sheet to avoid overcrowding the potatoes, ensuring they roast evenly.
- For extra crispy potatoes, make sure they are spread out in a single layer.
- Experiment with different herbs like thyme or rosemary for varied flavors.
Easy Variations
- Add sautéed spinach or kale to the eggs for extra greens.
- Top with grated cheese such as feta or cheddar for a richer taste.
- Substitute sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter flavor and added nutrients.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing complement.
- Toast with avocado for a creamy addition.
- A side of yogurt with honey for a touch of sweetness.
