Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 diced russet potatoes and 1 diced yellow onion, then season with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are golden and crispy around the edges.
  2. Step 2: While potatoes cook, fill a small saucepan with 2 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Crack 4 eggs into the water one at a time, poaching for 3 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  3. Step 3: Reduce heat under potatoes to low, then gently place 4 poached eggs on top of the potato mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid for 2 minutes to melt the egg yolks slightly.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped chives and serve immediately while hot.
