Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, diced
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Wash and dice potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. Place potato cubes in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil, ensuring even coating.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the potatoes. Toss thoroughly to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Spread seasoned potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Ensure potatoes are not overcrowded to ensure proper crisping.
- Roast potatoes in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through to promote even browning and crispiness.
- While potatoes are roasting, dice bell peppers and onions into similar-sized pieces.
- Remove sheet pan from oven, add diced bell peppers and onions around the potatoes. Gently mix to combine.
- Create small wells or spaces between the potato and vegetable mixture for the eggs.
- Carefully crack eggs directly onto the sheet pan, spacing them evenly among the potato and vegetable mixture.
- Return sheet pan to oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your preference.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve hot directly from the sheet pan, ensuring each serving gets potatoes, vegetables, and an egg.
Tips
- Potato Crispiness Secrets: The key to perfectly crispy potatoes is ensuring they're cut into uniform size and not overcrowded on the sheet pan. Give them space to breathe and brown!
- Egg Doneness Hack: For perfectly cooked eggs, watch them closely in the final 8-10 minutes. If you prefer runny yolks, remove the pan earlier; for fully set eggs, leave them in a bit longer.
- Seasoning Tip: Don't be shy with seasonings! The garlic powder, salt, and pepper are crucial for developing deep flavor. Consider adding a sprinkle of paprika or dried herbs for extra complexity.
- Prep Ahead Strategy: You can dice potatoes and vegetables the night before to save morning preparation time.
- Customization Options: Feel free to swap bell peppers with other vegetables like zucchini, spinach, or cherry tomatoes. You can also add cheese in the last few minutes of cooking for extra indulgence.
