Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved

- Pepper, to taste
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Optional: red pepper flakes, for a touch of heat
How to Make Sunny-Side Up Eggs with Crispy Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
- While the potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet, making sure to space them evenly. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Optionally, add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- To serve, arrange the crispy potatoes on a plate, top with sunny-side up eggs, and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the eggs for even cooking and a nice presentation.
- Ensure your potatoes are cut evenly for uniform cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; this ensures crispiness.
- For perfectly sunny-side up eggs, cover the skillet with a lid for the last minute of cooking to help set the tops without flipping.
Easy Variations
- Add diced bell peppers or onions to the potatoes before roasting for extra flavor.
- Swap out parsley for other fresh herbs like chives or cilantro.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream or avocado slices for added creaminess.
- For a heartier meal, add cooked bacon or sausage alongside the eggs.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- Toasted sourdough bread with butter.
- A light green salad with lemon vinaigrette.
- A glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a mimosa for a festive touch.
