Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2-3 medium Yukon gold potatoes diced
  • 1/2 bell pepper any color, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 2-3 cups baby spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • 3-4 eggs
  • kosher salt
  • freshly-ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the diced potatoes, bell pepper, and onion. Saute for 6-8 minutes, stirring every minute or so, until the potatoes begin to brown and crisp on the edges.
  • Add spinach, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Saute for 1 minute more, just until the garlic is fragrant and the greens begin to go limp.
  • Using a spatula or wooden spoon, push aside the potato-spinach mixture to form holes, then break an egg into each. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are done to your liking, probably 3-5 minutes on average. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve right away.
