HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and lightly browned.

02

Add chopped onion to the skillet with the potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, until the onion softens and becomes translucent.

03

Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

04

Create four small wells in the potato mixture in the skillet. Carefully crack one egg into each well.

05

Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.

06

Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat. Ensure your skillet is truly non-stick to prevent the eggs from sticking.
↔

Easy Substitutions

Sweet potatoes can be used instead of regular potatoes for a different flavor profile. Feel free to add diced bell peppers along with the onions for more vegetables.
