Ingredients
- 5 3/10 oz ground beef
- 0.5 onion
- 0.5 red pepper
- 5 3/10 oz potatoes
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp avocado oil
- 2 eggs
- 7 1/10 oz egg whites
- 0.18 oz parmesan
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- to taste garlic powder
- to taste paprika
Instructions
- 1Cut the potatoes into bite‑size cubes and place them in a bowl.
- 2Add 1 tsp olive oil, a pinch of pepper, garlic powder, and paprika; toss to coat evenly.
- 3Preheat the air‑fryer to 390°F (392°F). Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer and air‑fry for 16–18 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through until golden and crisp.
- 4While the potatoes cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with avocado oil.
- 5Add the diced onion and red pepper to the skillet; sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened.
- 6Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula; cook for about 4 minutes until browned and seared.
- 7Season the beef, onions, and peppers with additional garlic powder, paprika, and pepper to taste; stir to combine.
- 8When the potatoes are done, transfer them to the skillet and mix everything together, creating an even layer.
- 9Reduce the heat to just below medium. Using a spoon, make two wells in the mixture and pour the 2 whole eggs and 200 g egg whites into the wells.
- 10Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs set for about 1 minute, or until the egg whites are firm but the yolks are still slightly runny.
- 11Season the finished dish with salt to taste, then sprinkle the grated parmesan over the top.
- 12Remove from heat, let rest for a minute, then serve hot directly from the skillet.
