Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) baby potatoes, halved

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

4 large eggs

2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped (for garnish)

1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella recommended)

Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will ensure your potatoes become deliciously crispy.

    Prepare the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved baby potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle in garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are uniformly coated with the seasoning.

      Roast Potatoes: Transfer the seasoned potatoes onto a baking sheet, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer for optimal roasting. Place them in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. Remember to flip the potatoes halfway through cooking to promote even browning and tenderness.

        Prepare the Skillet: Once the potatoes are done, take small cast-iron skillets or individual oven-safe ramekins. Add a generous portion of the roasted potatoes into each skillet, creating a flavorful base for the eggs.

          Add Cheese: Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese evenly over the roasted potatoes in each skillet. This will melt beautifully in the oven, enhancing the overall flavor.

            Cook Eggs: Carefully crack an egg on top of the cheese layer in each skillet. If needed, use a spoon to create a small well in the cheese to help hold the egg in place.

              Bake Eggs: Place the skillets back in the oven and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes. Keep an eye on them until the egg whites are just set but the yolks still have a soft, runny texture. Adjust the baking time if you prefer firmer yolks.

                Garnish: Once baked, remove the skillets from the oven and allow them to cool for a minute. Sprinkle freshly chopped chives and optional parsley on top for an appealing finish and added freshness.

                  Serve: Present the skillets warm, topped with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if you like a creamy addition. Enjoy this delightful dish right out of the skillet!
