Slice potatoes as thin as possible for even cooking and crispness
Make distinct wells for eggs so yolks stay separate and cook evenly
Check eggs at 5 minutes as cooking time varies based on preferred doneness
Good to Know
Refrigerate leftovers in airtight container up to 2 days. Reheat gently in oven to avoid tough eggs.
Prepare and layer vegetables and potatoes in tray up to 4 hours ahead. Add eggs just before final baking.
Serve directly from the roasting tray. Accompany with crusty bread for scooping.
Common Mistakes
Do not skip the initial 25-minute roast to avoid undercooked potatoes
