Eggs Benedict

Crispy Potatoes

Method

Eggs Benedict

  1. 1

    Prepare the English Muffins

    Slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Cook the Ham

    Place the ham slices in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until heated through and slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Poach the Eggs

    Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Eggs Benedict

    On each toasted English muffin half, layer a slice of ham, top with a poached egg, and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Crispy Potatoes

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into small cubes or wedges.

  2. 6

    Season the Potatoes

    In a bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

  3. 7

    Cook the Potatoes

    Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, turning halfway through.
