A quick and easy breakfast recipe featuring crispy smashed potatoes cooked on a Blackstone griddle, topped with sautéed bell peppers and a fried egg for a satisfying morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (about 700 grams)
  • 1 cup mixed bell peppers, diced (about 150 grams)
  • ½ cup finely chopped onion (about 75 grams)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil (30 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (14 grams), softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (2 grams)
  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes clean. Boil them whole in salted water until fork-tender but not falling apart, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. While the potatoes cook, dice the mixed bell peppers and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic.
  3. Preheat your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil and butter; let the butter melt and foam.
  4. Place the cooled potatoes on the griddle spaced apart. Using a heavy spatula or grill press, gently smash each potato until about ½ inch thick. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  5. Scatter the diced peppers, onions, and garlic around the potatoes on the griddle. Stir occasionally to soften and caramelize, about 5 minutes.
  6. Let the potatoes cook undisturbed until edges turn golden and crispy, about 7 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 5 minutes.
  7. In a separate non-stick pan or on the griddle, crack the eggs and fry sunny-side up or to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Transfer the crispy smashed potatoes and peppers to plates, top each with a fried egg, and sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives.

Notes

If potatoes stick when smashing, don’t force them; let them loosen naturally as they crisp. Parboiling potatoes before smashing ensures a tender inside and crispy outside. Avoid overcrowding the griddle to prevent steaming. For a vegan version, omit eggs and use tofu scramble; swap butter with vegan margarine or extra oil. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and re-crisped in a skillet.
