Notes:
- What can I use instead of eggs?
- If you would like to make a vegan version of this meal, you can skip the eggs and use tofu instead. Cut the tofu into cups, toss it in some olive oil with salt and pepper and bake it in the oven together with potato pieces.
- Air fryer baking
- If you own an air fryer, you’re in luck, because then you’ll have this breakfast ready in just 15 minutes instead of 30 minutes. Bake it at 200 degrees Celsius (392 F) for about 10 minutes. Baking time may vary based on how thick you cut the potatoes.
- Do I have to peel the potatoes?
- No. You can leave the peel on, just wash them well. The peel will make potatoes even more crunchy.
