Ingredients

• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme
• 4 large eggs
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Crispy Breakfast Potatoes with Fried Egg

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and dried herbs until evenly coated.
3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, cut side down. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
4. While the potatoes are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil if needed.
5. Crack the eggs into the skillet, cooking them sunny-side up or over-easy, according to your preference. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
6. Once the potatoes are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven and plate them. Top each serving with a fried egg and garnish with fresh parsley.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy breakfast potatoes topped with a fried egg!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your oven is fully preheated before adding the potatoes for optimal crispiness.
• Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; this helps the potatoes brown rather than steam.
• For extra flavor, try adding minced garlic to the potatoes before roasting.
• Adjust the cooking time of the eggs based on how runny you like your yolks.

Easy Variations

• Swap baby potatoes for diced sweet potatoes for a sweeter flavor.
• Add cooked bacon or sausage for extra protein.
• Mix in your favorite vegetables, like bell peppers or onions, for added color and nutrition.
• Top with shredded cheese right before serving for an indulgent twist.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a light and refreshing side.
• Avocado toast for a creamy complement.
• A side of mixed greens dressed with lemon vinaigrette.
• Hot sauce or salsa for a spicy kick.
