Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 medium potatoes
Eggs & Bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 4 strips bacon
Seasonings & Oils
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt and impurities.
- Cut Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into small cubes, approximately 1 inch in size for even roasting.
- Arrange for Roasting: Place the potato cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Coat Potatoes: Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes ensuring all cubes are evenly coated for proper roasting.
- Season Potatoes: Sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes to enhance flavor.
- Toss Potatoes: Toss the potatoes thoroughly so the seasonings are evenly distributed on each piece.
- Spread Potatoes: Spread the potatoes into a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure crispiness.
- Roast Potatoes: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
- Cook Bacon: While potatoes roast, cook the bacon strips in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Drain Bacon: Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Prepare Skillet for Eggs: Remove excess bacon fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon for flavor.
- Melt Butter: Add butter to the skillet and melt it over medium heat to prepare for cooking eggs.
- Cook Eggs: Crack eggs carefully into the skillet without breaking the yolks; cook sunny-side-up for jammy yolks or flip for more doneness.
- Finish Potatoes: Remove roasted potatoes from the oven and set aside once crispy.
- Chop Bacon: Chop the crispy bacon into small pieces for topping.
- Assemble Dish: Transfer the crispy potatoes to a serving plate, top with jammy eggs, and sprinkle chopped bacon over.
- Garnish: Garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
- Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best.
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are cut uniformly for even cooking and crispiness.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt depending on bacon saltiness.
- For crispier potatoes, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
- Use fresh parsley for garnish to add brightness to the dish.
- Jammy eggs cook best when yolks remain runny but whites are set; adjust cooking time accordingly.
