Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked potatoes (e.g., roasted, boiled, or baked)
• 1 cup leftover cooked meat (e.g., chicken, beef, sausage, or turkey)
• 1.5 cups vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, or greens)
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
• 0 to taste hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Dice the cooked potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Shred or roughly chop the leftover cooked meat, ensuring no large chunks remain. Chop vegetables into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter. Allow it to heat until shimmering.

Step 3

Toss the diced potatoes into the skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crispy and golden brown on the edges.

Step 4

Add the vegetables and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and sauté the mixture for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.

Step 5

Fold in the leftover meat. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using), and cook for another 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, to heat the meat through.

Step 6

Using a spoon or spatula, create four small wells in the mixture. Crack one egg into each well, then lower the heat to medium-low.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the eggs for 5–7 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain soft (or to your desired level of doneness).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately with optional hot sauce on the side for extra flavor.
