Skillet Potatoes With Eggs and Spiced Tomato Sauce

This satisfying meal is traditionally served for breakfast, but we love it for dinner, too! This recipe comes to us from our friends at Potato Goodness.

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1 tsp. plus 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon (scant) caraway seeds
• 1 (14.5-ounce) can unsalted diced tomatoes
• 2 lbs. yellow potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch rounds, then quartered crosswise
• 4 eggs
• 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/2 cup Italian parsley leaves or cilantro leaves
• Hot pepper sauce

Cooking Tip of the Week: Remember that children under age 5 should not consume undercooked eggs. If you’re cooking with kids this age, consider using pasteurized eggs or extending the eggs’ cook time.

Food for Thought: This dish is a twist on shakshouka, which is a popular breakfast dish in the Middle East and North Africa. It typically contains eggs and a spiced sauce, but this version uses potatoes, too! The word shakshouka means “a mixture” in Arabic and you can add anything you like to it. Other common additions include artichoke hearts and broad beans. It’s often served with bread to soak up the delicious tomato sauce!
