Ingredients

- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (like chives or parsley) for garnish
How to Make Potato and Egg Flower Stack
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).
- In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the potato slices in a circular pattern, overlapping them slightly to create a flower shape. Leave a small circle in the center for the egg.
- Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- While the potatoes are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, cooking until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are ready, remove them from the oven and carefully place the cooked egg in the center of the potato flower.
- Garnish with freshly chopped herbs and an additional sprinkle of salt and pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure potatoes are sliced evenly for uniform cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; give the potatoes space to crisp up.
- Use fresh herbs for a pop of flavor and color.
- For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or smoked paprika to the potato mixture.
Easy Variations
- Swap russet potatoes for sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile.
- Add cheese on top of the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy twist.
- Top with sautéed spinach or other vegetables for added nutrition.
What to Serve With It
- A fresh mixed green salad with a light vinaigrette.
- Sliced avocado with lime and salt.
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
- Crispy bacon or sausage for a heartier option.
