Ingredients Needed for Easy Breakfast Bowls

Oil / Butter – You will need both oil and butter for this recipe. The oil is used to cook the potatoes and the butter is used to finish them.

Potatoes – For this recipe, dice up russet potatoes. Be sure to wash the potatoes before dicing them. You’ll also want them to be about the size of a dime. Next, you’ll run the potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch. Pat them dry with a paper towel before adding them to the pan.

Garlic – Roughly chop two cloves of garlic for this recipe.

Onion – Peel and dice one onion into small, even-sized pieces.

Seasoning blend – Combine paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl.

Eggs – Option to add your favorite type of eggs on top of the potatoes. I poached my eggs for this recipe, but pan fried or scrambled would taste great too.

Sauce – Combine kewpie mayonnaise, hot sauce or sriracha, lime juice, maple syrup and a pinch of salt in a small mixing bowl. Drizzle over the egg and potatoes.

Garnishes – Garnish the dish with fresh chopped parsley, cracked black pepper, and a pinch of salt.

How to Poach and Egg

Boil at least 4 inches of water in a pot.

Crack your egg and add it to a ramekin.

Turn the heat to low or off.

Using a wooden spoon, swirl the water into a vortex.

Carefully add the egg. I think adding it to the center helps shape it.

Let the egg swirl in the water for 3-4 minutes.

Carefully remove the poached egg from the water.
