Ingredients
  

  • 5 small potatoes, approximately 2 cups
  • 1/2 onion, approximately 1 cup
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt, divided
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Equipment

  • Stove
  • Oven (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Start by peeling and dicing the 1/2 onion very finely, then cook them in an oven safe pan with the 3 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 a teaspoon of the 1 1/2 tsp salt, until softened (5-7 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, peel and chop the 5 small potatoes into small cubes, approx. 1/2 inches in size.
  • Add the potatoes to the pan with another 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and mix. Allow them to cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring only every 5 minutes or so to ensure all sides get crispy. You can cover the pan for the last few minutes to soften them faster.
  • Crack 6 eggs into a bowl and whisk with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • When potatoes have softened, pour the eggs over them evenly and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Transfer to the oven to broil the top for 2-3 minutes until set. If you don't have a broiler, you can cover the pan until the eggs set or you can flip it (it may break though!)
  • Garnish with 1/4 cup parsley and serve with bread and any other toppings of choice.

Notes

  • If you have boiled potatoes, you can use them in this dish. They will need less cooking time - just a few minutes to crisp them up before adding the eggs.
  • To make this process faster in the morning, you can also prepare the onions and potatoes the night before.
  • Feel free to customize this dish by adding in your favourite herbs or your favourite fresh vegetables as a topping. You can also grate some cheese on top before broiling it if you like things extra cheesy!
