Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized chunks.
- Lightly coat a baking tray with cooking spray oil.
- Spread the potatoes evenly over the tray. Lightly spray the top of the potatoes with some more cooking spray oil.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are golden and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time.
- While the potatoes are baking, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chili powder, paprika, and dried oregano, stirring to coat the onions and garlic with the spices.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes, including their juice. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce cook for about 10-15 minutes until it has thickened slightly.
- Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Transfer the crispy potatoes into a large oven-safe baking dish.
- Pour the tomato sauce over the potatoes, making sure they are evenly coated.
- Make four small wells in the potato and tomato mixture using the back of a spoon.
- Crack one egg into each well.
- Carefully place the dish back into the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny, or to your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving.
- Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives for a touch of color and extra flavor.
Tips:
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russet for crispier texture.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your spice preference.
- Ensure the potatoes are spread evenly on the baking tray for even cooking.
- If you like a runny yolk, keep an eye on the eggs and take the dish out of the oven as soon as the whites are set.
- You can add chopped bell peppers or chorizo for additional flavor.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro just before serving for a burst of freshness.
