This Potatoes With Tomato Sauce Feta And Eggs Recipe is amazing because it only requires a few simple steps and ingredients to prepare.
It may look like Shakshuka at first glance, but actually it is a completely different dish and the flavors are more Mediterranean and Italian, not spicy and there are potatoes hidden on the bottom.
My family loves potatoes in any form, type and shape and it is a lot of fun for me coming up with new, creative ways to cook them.
I’ve shared roasted potato recipes, potato salads and very few main dishes using potatoes.
With the weather getting colder this week and holidays not too far away, it is just the perfect time for another simple and comforting potato recipe.
Potatoes are :
- An excellent source of vitamin C
- A good source of potassium (more than a banana!)
- A good source of vitamin B6
- Fat-, sodium- and cholesterol-free
- Only 110 calories per serving
Depending on the type and size of potatoes you choose and of course cooking method, cooking time may vary. It is a common misconception that potatoes always require long cooking time and this Potatoes With Tomato Sauce Feta And Eggs Recipe is the perfect example.
Why I love this recipe even more it that it is kid friendly, has simple flavors and is fun to make.
In this Potatoes With Tomato Sauce Feta And Eggs Recipe, I used yellow potatoes. They are marble to large size; round or oblong shape; light tan to golden skin; yellow to golden flesh.
I had to pick the smallest potatoes in the bag, around 3 – 1/2 inches long, to make sure that they cook quickly. Also choosing potatoes with the same size in essential, so they cook at the same time.
Yellow potatoes are slightly waxy, velvety, moist and keep their shape relatively well, which makes them perfect for this Potatoes With Tomato Sauce Feta And Eggs Recipe.
Potatoes in combination with flavorful tomato sauce taste amazing. The addition of salty feta and eggs, fresh basil, black pepper, garlic and  oregano is what makes the dish super delicious and unique.
What this dish lacks is heat, but you have the option to add some cracked hot red pepper on top, if you’d like.
