Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 4 large eggs
• Fresh herbs for garnish (such as parsley or chives)

How to Make Crispy Breakfast Potatoes with Fried Egg

1. Begin by boiling the diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water for about 10 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the boiled potatoes in a single layer. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
3. Cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
4. While the potatoes are cooking, heat another non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, cooking them sunny-side-up for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
5. Once the potatoes are crispy, remove them from the heat and transfer them to a serving plate. Top each portion with a sunny-side-up egg and garnish with fresh herbs.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious crispy breakfast potatoes!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to dry the potatoes well after boiling to achieve maximum crispiness.
• Use a non-stick skillet for frying the eggs to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan with potatoes; give them space to fry evenly and get crispy.

Easy Variations

• For a kick of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the finished dish.
• Add some diced bell peppers or onions to the potatoes while cooking for extra flavor.
• Replace the sunny-side-up eggs with scrambled eggs for a different texture.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Toast or a warm bagel to round out the meal.
• A side of crispy bacon or sausage for added protein.
