Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Dice potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Dice bell pepper and red onion into similar-sized pieces.
  2. On a baking sheet, toss potatoes, bell pepper and onion with a drizzle of oil, Southwest spice blend, salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and lightly charred.
  3. Meanwhile, make pico de gallo: dice tomato and jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat). Finely chop cilantro. Combine in a bowl with white wine vinegar and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  4. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, fry eggs to your liking (sunny-side up or over easy). In the last minute, sprinkle Mexican cheese blend over the eggs and cover until melted.
  5. To serve, divide potato hash between plates. Top each with a cheesy fried egg, a spoonful of pico de gallo and a drizzle of smoky red pepper crema.

Recipe Tips

For extra crispy potatoes, spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet and avoid overcrowding.

If you prefer a milder pico de gallo, remove the jalapeño seeds and ribs.

The smoky red pepper crema can be drizzled over the eggs or served on the side for dipping.

FAQ

Can I use a different type of potato?

Yes, Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well. Avoid starchy potatoes like russets, as they may fall apart.

What can I substitute for the Mexican cheese blend?

A mix of Monterey Jack and cheddar or any melting cheese like mozzarella or queso fresco, will work.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

The potato hash can be roasted in advance and reheated. Fry the eggs fresh for best results.
