Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked potatoes (e.g., roasted, boiled, or baked)
- 1 cup leftover cooked meat (e.g., chicken, beef, sausage, or turkey)
- 1.5 cups vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, or greens)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- to taste hot sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Dice the cooked potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Shred or roughly chop the leftover cooked meat, ensuring no large chunks remain. Chop vegetables into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter. Allow it to heat until shimmering.
Toss the diced potatoes into the skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crispy and golden brown on the edges.
Add the vegetables and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and sauté the mixture for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
Fold in the leftover meat. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using), and cook for another 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, to heat the meat through.
Using a spoon or spatula, create four small wells in the mixture. Crack one egg into each well, then lower the heat to medium-low.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the eggs for 5–7 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain soft (or to your desired level of doneness).
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately with optional hot sauce on the side for extra flavor.
