Fried Eggs with Crispy Potatoes: A 30-Minute Comfort Feast

fried eggs with crispy potatoes

A simple and hearty dish combining crispy potato wedges with fried eggs and garlic spinach.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb baby gold potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp crumbled feta (optional)
  • 12 tsp everything bagel seasoning (or black sesame seeds + a pinch of salt)
  • 1 tbsp butter (for frying eggs)
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Crisp the potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add potato wedges in a single layer. Season with salt, pepper (and garlic powder if using). Cook 12–15 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden-brown and tender.
  2. Sauté the spinach: Push potatoes to one side of the skillet (or remove to a plate). Add minced garlic and cook 20–30 seconds. Add spinach and cook 1–2 minutes until wilted. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Fry the eggs: In a separate small skillet (or cleared space in the pan), melt butter over medium heat. Crack in eggs and cook 2–3 minutes until whites are set and yolks are still runny (cover for 30–60 seconds if needed).
  4. Assemble: Plate potatoes and spinach, top with eggs, sprinkle with feta and everything bagel seasoning (or sesame). Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh spinach for best results.
  • Adjust seasoning to your taste.
  • For crispier potatoes, avoid overcrowding the pan.
