Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- Fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley), for garnish
How to Make Cheesy Egg and Potato Breakfast Stack
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a mixing bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
- Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hot potatoes. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While the cheese is melting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry to your desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes for sunny side up.
- To assemble, place a generous scoop of the cheesy potatoes on a plate and top with a fried egg. Garnish with fresh herbs.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to cut the potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- For extra flavor, try adding garlic powder or onion powder to the potatoes before roasting.
- If you prefer your egg yolk more cooked, you can flip the egg halfway through cooking for over-easy eggs.
Easy Variations
- Swap out cheddar cheese for your favorite cheese, such as mozzarella or pepper jack for a spicy kick.
- Add cooked bacon or sausage for additional protein.
- Incorporate sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition.
- Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a healthier alternative.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- Toast or an English muffin for an extra carb boost.
- A side of yogurt with honey for a touch of sweetness.
- A hot cup of coffee or tea to complement your meal.
