Crispy potatoes and vegetables topped with perfectly cooked eggs in a savory skillet breakfast.

# What you'll need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
02 - 1 red bell pepper, diced
03 - 1 yellow onion, diced
04 - 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
05 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

07 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
08 - ½ tsp ground black pepper
09 - 1 tsp salt

10 - 4 large eggs

→ Fresh Herbs

11 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

→ Oil

12 - 3 tbsp olive oil

# Directions:

01 - Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown and soften.
02 - Add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5 minutes until vegetables soften. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
03 - If using, add the cooked bacon or sausage. Sprinkle smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the mixture; stir to combine.
04 - Make 4 small wells in the hash and drizzle the remaining olive oil into each. Crack 1 egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
05 - Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in one pan, leaving you with a single skillet to wash instead of a mountain of dishes
  • The eggs cook right on top, creating those gorgeous runny yolks that mix into every bite
  • You can throw in whatever vegetables are hiding in your crisper drawer
02 -
  • Do not crowd the pan or the potatoes will steam instead of crisp up
  • Make sure your wells are deep enough so the eggs do not spread across the entire surface
  • The eggs continue cooking after you remove the lid, so take them off slightly earlier than you think
03 -
  • Dice your potatoes uniformly so they all cook at the same rate
  • Precooked meat works better than raw here since it does not have time to properly cook through
  • Let the skillet get properly hot before adding the first batch of oil
