Ingredients

  • 1 pound of mixed golden and red potatoes
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt and pepper
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 4 slices of French bread or bread of your choice
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • micro greens for garnish I used kale micro greens (optional)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Wash and cup potatoes into 1 and ½ to 2 inch pieces.
  • Place potatoes onto a shallow baking pan and drizzle with a small amout of olive oil, about 2 to 3 teaspoons. Season with teaspoon of salt and pepper and 1 to 2 teaspoon of garlic powder, your preference.
  • Place in the oven and roast for 15 to 18 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. When done cover with foil to keep warm.
  • While potatoes are roasting, prepare the bread for toasting with butter spreading on one side or you can leave plain and save yourself the calories.
  • Prepare small saucepan for poaching by filling about ⅔ full with water and bring to a boil. When water starts to boil, turn down to a simmer. There will be bubbles coming up from the bottom but it will not be rolling.
  • Crack the first egg into a small mesuring cup with a handle. If you choose, add vinegar to water. The vinegar helps to egg to cook in a more compact shape. Your eggs will not have a vinegar taste.
  • Carefully lower the measuring cup into the water and tip the egg out into the water.
  • When you place the egg into the water start toasting you bread using the oven or toaster method.
  • Cook your eggs 2 to 4 minutes, however it depends on how runny you want your egg yolk. I found the the 4 minutes yielded a less runny yolk. The eggs here are 2 minute eggs.
  • Remove the egg from the water using a slotted spoon and place on a paper towl to gently pat to remove some of the water.
  • Place toast on plate and top with some of the potatoes, place the poached egg on to of the potatoes. season with a bit of salt and pepper, sprinkle on some of the micro greens and serve immediately.
  • Repeat until all eggs are done.
