Elegant Pan-Fried Eggs with Herbed Potato Hash

Ingredients

Main Components:

- 4 large eggs
- 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced

Seasonings & Herbs:

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Pan-Fry Essentials:

- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Ingredients:
- Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes into small cubes (about 1/2 inch). Finely chop the onion and dice the red bell pepper. Set these aside in separate bowls.

2. Preheat the Pan:
- On medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet. Once heated, add the diced potatoes in an even layer. Let them cook undisturbed for about 10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they start to turn golden brown.

3. Add Vegetables:
- Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sprinkle the garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt and pepper over the mixture. Stir well to combine.

4. Cook the Hash:
- Continue to cook for an additional 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the potatoes are fully cooked. Stir in the fresh thyme, then remove the hash from the skillet and set aside, keeping it covered to retain warmth.

5. Cook the Eggs:
- Wipe down the skillet briefly with a paper towel. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and the pan is hot, crack the eggs gently into the pan.
- Fry the eggs, spooning the hot oil over the whites until the edges are crispy, and the yolks reach your desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes for sunny side up. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

6. Assemble Your Dish:
- Divide the herbed potato hash evenly among four plates. Top each mound of hash with a perfectly fried egg. Garnish with additional thyme if desired for an extra touch of freshness.
