Ingredients
- 2 medium (about 12 oz) russet potatoes
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel and dice 2 medium russet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Toss the potatoes with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp paprika until evenly coated.
- Step 2: Spread the seasoned potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are golden and crisp.
- Step 3: While potatoes roast, dice 1 medium red bell pepper and 1 medium yellow bell pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. After 20 minutes, add the diced bell peppers to the baking sheet, stirring to combine with potatoes. Roast for an additional 10 minutes until peppers are tender and potatoes are fully cooked.
- Step 4: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and crack 4 large eggs into the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny, or to desired doneness.
- Step 5: Serve the roasted potatoes and peppers onto plates, topping each serving with a cooked egg. Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the dish for brightness.
