Ingredients

6

6 servings

  • 4 lb russet potato
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 12 slices cheddar cheese, cut into 1x3in (2x7 cm) strips
  • 12 slices deli ham, cut into 1x3in (2x7 cm) strips
  • 6 large eggs
  • fresh chive, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) baking dish with non-stick cooking spray
  • Peel the potatoes, then shred on the large holes of a box grater. Transfer to a large bowl of water and swirl around to remove excess starch. Drain and rinse, then place the potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze until they’re completely dry.
  • Add the shredded potatoes to a clean, large bowl with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne, onion powder, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Toss until fully combined.
  • Transfer the potato mixture to the baking dish. Spread evenly.
  • Bake for 1½ hours, or until the potatoes are tender throughout and golden brown on the top and bottom.
  • Press the bottom of a glass into the potato mixture to create 6 evenly spaced wells.
  • Shingle slices of cheddar cheese and ham around the wells, then crack an egg into each one.
  • Bake for 15 minutes more, or until the cheese melts and the egg whites are set. The egg yolks should still be slightly soft.
  • Serve and sprinkle with chives, if desired.
  • Enjoy!
