Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup of diced potatoes
- 1 cup of chopped kale
- 1/2 cup of onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping kale, dicing potatoes and onions into uniform small pieces.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.
- Add diced onions to the skillet and sauté until they become translucent and slightly golden, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate diced potatoes into the skillet, spreading them evenly. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
- Add chopped kale to the potato and onion mixture, stirring to combine and allowing kale to wilt and become tender, about 2-3 minutes.
- Season the vegetable mixture with salt and pepper, adjusting to your taste preferences.
- Create small wells in the vegetable mixture and crack eggs directly into these spaces.
- Cover the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks reach desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 1-2 minutes before serving hot directly from the skillet.
Tips
- Use fresh, farm eggs for the best flavor and richness
- Dice vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking
- Keep heat at medium to prevent burning and achieve perfect golden-brown potatoes
- Don't overcrowd the skillet - give ingredients room to breathe and caramelize
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or fresh herbs like thyme
- Choose a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast-iron pan for the best results
- Cover the skillet when cooking eggs to help whites set without overcooking the yolks
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow flavors to meld together
