Delicious Potatoes with Spinach and Eggs

This vibrant and healthy recipe combines tender potatoes, fresh spinach, and perfectly cooked eggs into a wholesome meal that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner. The natural sweetness of sautéed onions, the earthiness of spinach, and the creaminess of eggs come together with lightly crispy potatoes to form a dish that is as satisfying as it is nutritious. Simple yet delicious, this one-pan meal is both easy to prepare and packed with vitamins, fiber, and protein.

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach leaves (or 1 cup frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
  • Parmesan cheese or feta (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Potatoes:
    In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  2. Sauté the Onions and Garlic:
    Push the potatoes to the side of the pan and add the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring to prevent burning.
  3. Add Spinach:
    Once the onions are translucent, add the fresh spinach (or thawed frozen spinach) to the pan. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir everything together so the flavors meld nicely.
  4. Cook the Eggs:
    Using the back of a spoon, make four small wells in the potato-spinach mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the eggs are set to your desired doneness. For runny yolks, check after 5 minutes; for firmer yolks, cook a bit longer.
  5. Serve:
    Once the eggs are cooked, remove the pan from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives and a sprinkle of Parmesan or feta if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting blend of flavors and textures.

This simple yet satisfying meal is perfect on its own or served with a side of crusty bread!
