Fried Purple Potato Skins with Egg ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #potatoskin #breakfast #recipe

Fried Purple Potato Skins with Egg

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: as many as you like!

Ingredients

Scale

For each serving:

  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 2 cups purple potato skins
  • Red Robin Seasoning (or salt) & freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg
  • For the top: snipped chives and a parsley leaf for garnish

Instructions

  1. Before you peel your potatoes, make sure they are very well washed and very clean. Use a peeler to peel off the skin, putting the skins in one pile and the potatoes in the other. Use the inside of the potatoes for mashed potatoes or baked potato soup or something like that.
  2. Melt the butter over medium heat in a frying pan. Add the potato skins, cover and cook for several minutes, removing the cover and stirring frequently. As the potatoes start to get cooked through remove the cover. Cook, stirring frequently, until the skins start to get browned and crispy. Season to taste and continue to cook until they are done to your liking. Remove the potato skins to a serving plate.
  3. Crack the egg into the pan and season and cook to your liking. Slide the egg on top of the potatoes, sprinkle with snipped chives (if you like) and enjoy!
