Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, diced onion, bell pepper, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the potato mixture out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
- While the potatoes are roasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and fry the eggs to your liking (sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute.
- To serve, plate the roasted potatoes and top each serving with a fried egg and slices of creamy avocado. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add some diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of paprika to the potato mixture before roasting.
- Try different types of potatoes like sweet potatoes for a twist on flavor and nutrition.
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute the olive oil with cooking spray.
