Eggs with Semi-deconstructed Home Fries

We start by making a variation on Ree’s Crash Hot Potatoes, which I like to call ‘Crashed Potatoes’.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

Boil the Yukon Gold potatoes until fork tender.

Lightly film a baking sheet with olive oil or spray with olive oil or vegetable spray.

Put the potatoes on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. With a potato masher, ‘crash’ each potato gently twice, rotating the masher 90 degrees the second time.

Brush each potato generously with olive oil. Season each potato with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until nicely browned.

While the potatoes are baking, sauté the onion and bell pepper in a little olive oil in a medium sauté pan until lightly browned. Take the onions and peppers out of the pan, wipe the pan clean and set aside (you’ll be using it to cook the eggs).

When the potatoes are done, put one on each plate and top with the onions and peppers.

In the same pan that you used for the sauté, cook 4 eggs your favorite way (sunny side up, over easy, whatever). Put an egg on top of each of the potatoes and serve.
