Recipe Yield: 2 servings

INGREDIENTS

2 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, diced (½-inch cubes)
4 large eggs
½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
¼ cup cooked crispy bacon bits
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp sour cream
2 tbsp chopped green onions
2 tbsp finely diced red onion
1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Roast the potatoes:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly in a single layer. Then roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

2. Cook the eggs:
Meanwhile, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into the pan and cook sunny-side up until whites are set while yolks remain soft and runny. Set aside.

3. Build the base:
Divide hot crispy potatoes between bowls. Immediately sprinkle cheddar cheese over the potatoes so it melts slightly from the heat.

4. Layer the toppings:
Place 2 eggs on each bowl. Then add bacon bits, sour cream, green onions, red onion, and fresh chives evenly across the top.

5. Finish and serve:
Finally, sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.

Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

• Crispy roasted potatoes every time: Always cut potatoes evenly and spread them in a single layer. Additionally, avoid overcrowding, as this allows proper roasting instead of steaming, resulting in a golden, crisp texture.
• Perfect runny eggs: Cook eggs over medium heat without rushing. This ensures tender whites while keeping yolks silky. As a result, the yolk naturally coats the potatoes and adds rich flavor.
• Balanced flavor layering: Add cheese directly onto hot potatoes first. Then layer toppings gradually. Therefore, every bite delivers the perfect combination of creamy, crispy, and fresh elements.
