Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 cups string beans (green or yellow beans, cooked, then cut into 1-inch pieces or could use cooked asparagus)
  • 2 tablespoons oil (extra-virgin olive oil)
  • 2 pounds potatoes (peeled and cut into 3/4-inch dice, or 5 cups diced cooked potatoes)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • Salt and ground pepper, to taste
  • 8 large eggs (two eggs a person or you could use less eggs)
  • Pinch of paprika (optional)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until hot enough to sizzle a piece of potato.

  • Step 2: Spread cubed potatoes in an even layer. Sprinkle garlic powder on top. Cook turning every few minutes with a wide spatula, until tender and browned, 15 to 20 minutes for raw potatoes or 10-12 minutes for cooked potatoes.

  • Step 3: Stir in the green beans, crushed red pepper. Add salt and pepper, any amount you want.

  • Step 4: Crack each egg into a small bowl and slip them one at a time into the pan on top of the vegetables, spacing evenly. Cover and cook over medium heat until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your taste, 3 to 5 minutes.

  • Step 5: Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper and some paprika, if desired.

  • Step 6: Serve immediately.
