🥘 Potatoes with Spinach and Eggs Recipe
📝 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 3 medium potatoes (peeled and diced into small cubes)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or butter)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 cups fresh spinach (washed and chopped)
- 3–4 large eggs
- Salt (to taste)
- 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
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
- 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.
- Remove and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté Onion & Garlic
- In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Sauté the onion until soft and translucent (about 3 minutes).
- Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add Spinach
- Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted (2–3 minutes).
- Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano/thyme.
Step 4: Combine with Potatoes
- Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet.
- 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)
- Make small wells in the potato-spinach mixture.
- Crack the eggs directly into the wells.
- 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
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pour them over the potato-spinach mixture and stir gently until the eggs are cooked and fluffy.
Step 6: Serve
- Sprinkle with grated cheese if desired.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
- Serve hot with bread, roti, or toast.
🍴 Serving Suggestions
- Serve with toasted bread for breakfast.
