Method

Breakfast

  1. 1

    Prep and chop

    Rinse and dry potatoes. Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Dice the onion. If using garlic, mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Brown the potatoes

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 12-15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add onion and garlic

    If using garlic, add the minced garlic to the pan. Add the diced onion and cook until the onion is translucent and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Season

    Sprinkle paprika and black pepper over the potatoes and onions. Stir to coat. Adjust salt if needed.

  5. 5

    Cook eggs

    Create two shallow wells in the potato mixture and crack the eggs into the wells. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Cook until the egg whites are set and the yolks remain runny, about 4-6 minutes.

  6. 6

    Finish and serve

    Sprinkle chopped parsley over the eggs. Serve immediately with crusty bread if desired.
