Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into cubes
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
How to Make Fried Eggs with Seasoned Potatoes
- Start by boiling the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water for about 5 minutes, or until they are just tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the drained potatoes.
- Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes for sunny-side up, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. If you prefer your yolks cooked through, cover the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- To serve, place a generous portion of the seasoned potatoes on each plate and top with a fried egg. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra crispy potatoes, ensure they are well-drained after boiling and avoid overcrowding the skillet.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Experiment with different seasonings like cumin or chili powder for a unique flavor.
Easy Variations
- Add diced bell peppers or onions to the potatoes for extra flavor.
- Substitute sweet potatoes for a healthier option.
- Top with grated cheese or avocado slices for an indulgent twist.
- Serve with salsa or hot sauce for added heat.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- Toast or crusty bread for a complete meal.
- A side of sautéed greens like spinach or kale.
- Breakfast sausage or bacon for meat lovers.
