Ingredients for Fried Potatoes and Onions with Sunny Side Eggs

• 2 large Russet potatoes (skin-on, cut into cubes): These starchy potatoes are perfect for frying, creating a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter: Adds richness and flavor to the potatoes and onions.
• 1/2 onion: Adds sweetness and depth of flavor to the dish.
• 1/2 tsp salt: Enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients.
• 1 clove garlic (minced): Infuses the potatoes with a savory, aromatic flavor.
• 1/2 bell pepper (optional, diced): Adds a touch of sweetness and color.
• 1/2 tsp paprika: Provides a subtle smoky flavor and a beautiful color.
• 2 tsp chopped chives, parsley, or scallions: Adds a fresh, vibrant finish to the dish.
• 2 eggs: Cooked sunny side up, these eggs add richness and a creamy texture to the meal.
• Manchego cheese (optional, for garnish): A Spanish cheese that adds a nutty, buttery flavor.

 Instructions: How to Make Fried Potatoes and Onions with Sunny Side Eggs

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

1. Cube the Potatoes:
   • Wash the 2 large Russet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into small, even-sized cubes. Keeping the skin on adds texture and flavor to the dish.
2. Chop the Onion and Bell Pepper:
   • Slice the 1/2 onion into thin strips. Dice the 1/2 bell pepper (if using) into small pieces. Mince the 1 clove of garlic.

Step 2: Cook the Potatoes and Onions

1. Heat the Butter:
   • In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and begins to sizzle, add the cubed potatoes to the skillet.
2. Fry the Potatoes:
   • Spread the potatoes out in an even layer in the skillet. Let them cook for about 5-7 minutes without stirring, allowing them to develop a crispy crust on one side. Then, stir the potatoes and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.
3. Add the Onions, Garlic, and Bell Pepper:
   • Add the sliced onions, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and slightly caramelized, and the bell peppers are tender.
4. Season the Potatoes:
   • Sprinkle the potatoes with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika. Stir well to ensure that the seasoning is evenly distributed.

Step 3: Cook the Sunny Side Eggs

1. Heat the Pan:
   • In a separate non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of butter or oil over medium-low heat.
2. Cook the Eggs:
   • Crack the 2 eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Cook the eggs slowly, allowing the whites to set while keeping the yolks runny. For sunny side eggs, cook them for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are fully cooked and the edges are slightly crispy.
3. Season the Eggs:
   • Lightly season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 4: Assemble and Serve

1. Plate the Potatoes and Onions:
   • Once the potatoes and onions are cooked to your liking, transfer them to a serving plate.
2. Top with Eggs:
   • Gently place the sunny side eggs on top of the fried potatoes and onions.
3. Garnish:
   • Sprinkle the dish with 2 teaspoons of chopped chives, parsley, or scallions for a fresh, vibrant finish. If you’re using Manchego cheese, grate a small amount over the top of the eggs and potatoes.
4. Serve Hot:
   • Serve the dish immediately while it’s hot. Pair it with a slice of toast or some fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
