SUNNY POTATO
Serves 4
This is a fun twist on Toad in the Hole (one of my 10-year-old's favorite things to make for himself). Eggs and potatoes are besties and this recipe puts them together in a lovely, unexpected way. Elegant enough for a weekend brunch get-together, but simple enough to do anytime.
INGREDIENTS:
4 russet potatoes
olive oil & sea salt to coat potatoes
4 eggs
8 cups greens of choice (arugula, spinach, watercress, lettuce, microgreens)
2 T fresh dill, chopped
2 T fresh chives, chopped
1/2 cup olive or avocado oil
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
1/2 t sea salt
freshly ground pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Scrub potatoes and prick all over with a fork. Rub with olive oil and salt.
Place potatoes directly on oven grate and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until tender when pierced.
Allow potatoes to cool, slice in half and scoop flesh to create a "bowl".
Place potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and add 1 egg to each "bowl".
Sprinkle with salt & pepper and bake for 17 minutes, or until whites are set and yolks are still runny.
Meanwhile whisk vinegar, salt, pepper and olive oil.
Divide greens among four plates and drizzle with dressing.
Top each salad with a potato and sprinkle herbs.
