Ingredients

  • 4 medium red potatoes, diced, about 1.5 pounds
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 medium sweet onion, diced
  • ½ cup green pepper, finely diced
  • 1 cup corned beef, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ⅓ cup half-and-half
  • 4 whole eggs
  • 3 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 1 cup)

Instructions

  1. Bring an inch or so of water to a boil in a saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add potatoes, cover and steam until slightly softened but not tender, about 5 and a half to 7 minutes. Remove the basket from the saucepan.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil and butter a 10 ¼-inch case iron skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add onion and green pepper and cook stirring often until the vegetables start to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in corned beef, salt, pepper and smoked paprika, and cook for about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and stir to coat. Add potatoes and continue to cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up and turning over the potato mixture with a metal spatula, until the potatoes are tender and browned, forming a crust on the bottom of the skillet, about 8 to 12 minutes.
  5. Add half-and-half, and stir to coat.
  6. Reduce temperature to medium-low. Create four wells in the potato mixture and crack and egg into each.
  7. Cover with cheese, then cover skillet with a lid or sheet of foil. Let cook until the cheese is melted and the eggs are set but the yolks are still runny, about 5 to 6 minutes.
