Step 1:

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes until they begin to turn golden and tender.

Step 2:

Add the onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until vegetables are softened.

Step 3:

Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4:

Flatten the hash evenly in the skillet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the top.

Step 5:

Using a spoon, create 4 wells in the hash. Crack an egg into each well.

Step 6:

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny (cook longer for firmer yolks).

Step 7:

Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
