Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tbsp olive oil. Add 2 lbs diced potatoes and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown on edges.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 finely diced yellow onion, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Continue cooking for 10-12 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes, until potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  3. Step 3: Create four small wells in the potato mixture and crack 4 eggs into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny. Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped chives before serving.
