Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Extra chives or herbs for garnish (optional)
How to Make Creamy Potato and Egg Bowl
- In a medium pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the halved baby potatoes and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and heavy cream, then mash gently until creamy but still slightly chunky. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a little oil or butter. Crack the eggs into the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Season with salt and pepper.
- To assemble, spoon a generous portion of the creamy potatoes into a bowl. Top with a fried egg and sprinkle with chopped chives. Garnish with additional herbs if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra flavor, add garlic powder or smoked paprika to the mashed potatoes.
- If you prefer your eggs cooked through, cook them a little longer until the yolks are firm.
- Make sure your potatoes are well-drained to keep the dish from becoming too watery.
Easy Variations
- Swap baby potatoes for sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile.
- Add sautéed spinach or kale for a healthy boost.
- Top with crumbled feta or grated cheese for added creaminess.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- Toasted sourdough or whole grain bread to soak up the egg yolk.
- A side of crispy bacon or sausage for extra protein.
