Ingredients
2 cups potatoes, diced into small cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup cooked bacon or sausage (optional)
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add diced potatoes and cook until they begin to soften and turn golden, stirring occasionally
2. Add diced onion and bell pepper, then cook until softened and fragrant
3. Stir in minced garlic and optional cooked bacon or sausage, then season with paprika, salt, and black pepper
4. Continue cooking until potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender inside
5. Create small wells in the mixture, then crack eggs into each well
6. Cover the skillet and cook until egg whites are set while yolks remain slightly runny or to your preference
7. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately
Notes
Cut potatoes evenly for consistent cooking and better texture
Parboil potatoes beforehand to speed up cooking and improve crispiness
Use a cast iron skillet for best browning results
Adjust seasoning and spice level to taste
Cook eggs longer if you prefer fully set yolks
Best served immediately while hot and crispy
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a few days and reheat in a skillet to restore texture
