Healthy Egg and Chips Recipe

4.8 from 100 reviews

A simple and healthy recipe featuring baked potatoes served alongside softly cooked eggs, perfect for a nutritious and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 medium potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Eggs

  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: cooking spray or a teaspoon of oil for eggs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  2. Bake the potatoes. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes until the skins are crispy and a fork easily pierces through the flesh.
  3. Cook the eggs. While the potatoes are baking, prepare the eggs to your preference. This recipe suggests serving softly cooked or fried eggs: heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a little oil or cooking spray. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set but yolks remain runny, or adjust to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Serve. Remove the baked potatoes from the oven, slice open, and season if desired. Serve immediately with the prepared eggs on the side for a wholesome meal.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, avoid adding butter or heavy toppings to the potatoes.
  • You can customize the eggs by scrambling, poaching, or boiling them as preferred.
  • To cut down cooking time, you can microwave potatoes before baking.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled to feed more people.
  • Use sweet potatoes for a variation with a different nutritional profile.
