Ingredients

Irish Benny Components

Breakfast Potatoes

Preparation

Prepare the Breakfast Potatoes

1. Cook the Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dice the potatoes into small cubes. In a bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.

2. Roast the Potatoes

Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through the cooking time.

3. Garnish

Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

4. Cook the Irish Bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Irish bacon slices until crispy, about 3-5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

5. Poach the Eggs

In a medium saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for soft yolks, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

6. Toast the English Muffins

While the eggs are poaching, split the English muffins and toast them until golden brown.

7. Assemble the Irish Benny

On each toasted English muffin half, layer a slice of crispy Irish bacon, followed by a poached egg. Generously drizzle with Hollandaise sauce before serving.
