Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2-3 medium red or yellow potatoes chopped into ¾-inch pieces, about 2 cups worth
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper adjust to taste
  • 3 cups Southern Fried Cabbage or sautéed cabbage with bacon
  • 4-6 large eggs
  • 1-2 tablespoons butter for cooking the eggs

Instructions

  • Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes to the skillet, toss to coat, and season with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
  • Press across the bottom of the pan and let cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes. Stir and repeat 2-3 times until the potatoes are soft and slightly crispy 
  • Add the leftover Southern Fried Cabbage to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook until warm and then transfer to a large plate or bowl.
  • In the same skillet used for the cabbage and potatoes, cook the eggs (2-3 at a time) until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft and runny.
  • When ready to eat, top the cabbage mixture with the soft eggs.
