  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • ½ tsp paprika or red chili flakes (optional, for spice)
  • ½ tsp dried oregano or thyme (optional, for flavor)
  • Grated cheese (parmesan, cheddar, or feta – optional, for topping)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Potatoes

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced potatoes with a pinch of salt and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  3. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté Onion & Garlic

  1. In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Sauté the onion until soft and translucent (about 3 minutes).
  3. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3: Add Spinach

  1. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted (2–3 minutes).
  2. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano/thyme.

Step 4: Combine with Potatoes

  1. Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet.
  2. Toss everything together so the potatoes are coated with the spinach and seasonings.

Step 5: Cook the Eggs

You can prepare the eggs in two ways:

Option A: Eggs on Top (Shakshuka Style)

  1. Make small wells in the potato-spinach mixture.
  2. Crack the eggs directly into the wells.
  3. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat for 4–6 minutes, until the egg whites are set but yolks remain runny (or longer for fully set yolks).

Option B: Scrambled Eggs Style

  1. Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Pour them over the potato-spinach mixture and stir gently until the eggs are cooked and fluffy.

Step 6: Serve

  1. Sprinkle with grated cheese if desired.
  2. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
  3. Serve hot with bread, roti, or toast.

🍴 Serving Suggestions
