Print Recipe

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 3/4 lb lean slab bacon, cut crosswise into four 2-inch-long pieces
  •  Salt & freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tbsps water
  • 8 large eggs
  • 3 tbsps sliced shallots
  • 3 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp thyme leaves
  • 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley (3 oz), stemmed & coarsely sliced

Directions
  • Step #1 Preheat the oven to 400°.
  • Step #2 In a mixer, shallots, water, puree the parsley, thyme & 2 tbsps of the olive oil; season this with salt & pepper.
  • Step #3 In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil in the oven for 10 mins.
  • Step #4 Add the bacon to the skillet & bake for 12 mins, or until the fat is rendered & the bacon is slightly crisp.
  • Step #5 Transfer the bacon to a plate.
  • Step #6 Add the potatoes to the skillet & turn to coat them with the fat; season this with salt & pepper.
  • Step #7 Bake the potatoes for 15 mins, or until tender & lightly browned; transfer to the plate with the bacon.
  • Step #8 Set the skillet over moderately low heat.
  • Step #9 Crack 4 of the eggs into the skillet & fry for 2 mins per side, until the whites are set & the yolks are still runny (or until done to your liking).
  • Step #10 Transfer the eggs to 2 plates & repeat with the remaining 4 eggs.
  • Step #11 Spoon the bacon & potatoes alongside the eggs & dollop the parsley sauce on top.
  • Step #12 Serve at once.
  • Step #13 Make Ahead: The parsley sauce can be put in the fridged overnight.
  • Step #14 Bring to about room temp before serving.
  • Step #15 Wine Recommendation: A soft, fruity & young Spanish Tempranillo will stand up to the salty bacon & contrast with the difficult-to-match eggs here.
  • Step #16 Try the 1999 Bodegas Ramon Bilbao Tempranillo Rioja Limited Edition or the 1998 Heredad Ugarte Rioja Crianza.
