Skillet Potatoes and Eggs
Ingredients
- 4-5 small potatoes chopped into 1 inch cubes
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 1 jalapeno pepper thinly sliced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp avocado oil or any neutral flavored oil
- Dried or fresh parsley to garnish
- Hot sauce optional
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to boil and chop your vegetables.
- Cook the chopped potatoes in salted boiling water for 3 minutes. They may be slightly underdone but they will continue to cook in the skillet.
- Add oil to a hot skillet and cook onions and bell peppers under medium heat. Let the vegetables sit for a few minutes without mixing to develop a nice char. Once onions and bell peppers are just cooked (about 5 minutes), add in jalapenos and garlic. Saute for just a minute until the garlic is golden.
- Add potatoes and seasonings to the pan and mix until everything is well coated.
- Use a spoon or spatula to create four small wells in the pan and crack in the eggs. Top with cheese and season with black pepper.
- Close lid and reduce heat to low. Allow everything to cook with lid covered until the eggs are done to your liking (about 6-8 minutes for set whites with runny yolk).
- Garnish with parsley and add a few dashes of hot sauce before eating.
