The FAMOUS Spanish Eggs with Potatoes & Peppers | A Dish Fit for Royalty
Walk into any tapas bar or restaurant in Spain and you will almost always find these Spanish Eggs with Potatoes & Peppers. Loaded with honest & clean flavors, easy to make and truly what the Spanish kitchen is all about.
You can serve these Spanish Eggs with Potatoes & Peppers for breakfast next to a mimosa, or even for dinner next to a cold beer. Either way, make sure to have a crunchy baguette handy, to mop up all that goodness.
What really flavors this dish and takes it to the next-level is the olive oil. I used a Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Georgetown Olive Oil Co. Truly, one of my favorite Spanish olive oils ever and it gives this dish that authentic touch.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: For the potatoes, you want to use potatoes that are a bit more waxy than starchy. As they hold their shape better when fried. I used new potatoes, but you can also use yukon gold, golden delight or even red potatoes.
