HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

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

02

Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.

03

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

04

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.

05

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving directly from the skillet.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of turmeric or coriander along with the other spices. If you prefer a runnier yolk, cook the eggs for a shorter time. Serve with warm pita bread or crusty bread for dipping.

Easy Substitutions

Sweet potatoes can be used instead of Yukon Gold potatoes for a different flavor profile. Spinach or bell peppers can be added with the onions for more vegetables. Feta cheese can be crumbled over the top before serving.
