Top with poached eggs, or serve with a side of your favorite style of eggs. This Ukrainian recipe has been in my family for years and it never gets old! Perfect for weekend breakfast or brunch!

I grew up eating this dish at least once a week; making it always brings back warm, childhood memories. If my Ukrainian dad was making breakfast or brunch, there was a 50% chance that we were having this dish. He would mix it up by adding sausage or some other type of meat to make it interesting. I serve these breakfast potatoes with poached eggs, but if you’re not a fan of running yolks (but, seriously, they’re the best!), any type of egg will work. Serve these potatoes with a side of tomatoes, cucumbers and avocado.

Seriously drooling over this dish just looking at this photo! I can literally smell the aroma of these potatoes cooking on the stove-top.

Dinner Side Dish

Looking for a delicious dinner potato recipe? Don’t limit this dish only to breakfast! These breakfast potatoes can also double as a great side-dish to any meat entree. Just leave off the eggs and serve the potatoes as a side dish to your favorite steak or grilled meat. I also like to serve this potato recipe with grilled chicken kabobs and a side of kale salad!

Ingredients

4 slices thick-cut bacon
4 large red-skin potatoes
3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
ground black pepper
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp fresh dill
1 tbsp fresh chives
4 poached eggs

Instructions

Peel and cube the potatoes, then soak in cold water while preparing the remaining ingredients.
Preheat a large saute pan over medium heat and render the bacon until golden and crispy. Remove the bacon onto a tray lined with a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Into the same pan, add the butter, onion and carrots. Saute for a few minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the potatoes and season with salt, black pepper and smoked paprika.
Saute the potatoes over medium-low heat, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Cover the pan with a lid to shorten the cooking time. When potatoes are almost ready, cut the bacon into bits and return to the pan.
For serving, transfer the potatoes into a serving dish and garnish with fresh dill and minced chives. Top with poached egg, or serve with desired egg on the side.
