Batatas Con Huevos -- Mexican Comfort Food
- 2 large red potatoes
- 1 cup spinach leaves, wilted
- 4 whole raw eggs
- salt and pepper
- 1 cup grated cheese
- Salsa
- 1 cup tomatoes, chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, deseeded and chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 4 sprigs cilantro, minced
- 4 sprigs basil, minced
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- salt and pepper
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Poke the potatoes all over with a fork and nuke in the microwave for 15 minutes.
- Alternatively, you can bake them in the oven for 1 hour.
- Let cool until you can handle them with your bare hands.
- Trust me on this one, you don't want to be playing hot potato.
- Cut each potato in half.
- Pare off a tiny sliver of what will become the bottom of your potato, so it can stand on its own and not roll around.
- Scoop out the flesh and leave just a small layer of potato around the shell.
- Use the scooped out potato to make mashed potato, or save for another use, but you're not going to need it for this recipe.
- Line the 4 potato shells with the wilted spinach leaves.
- Crack each egg into a potato shell.
- Make sure the yolk doesn't break (you may want to crack the egg into a cup first and then gently pour it into the potato.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Top with grated cheese.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet (good idea to line it first with parchment paper).
- Bake in the oven until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted (about 20 minutes).
- In the meantime, make the salsa by combining all the ingredients.
- You can make it as chunky or as smooth as you like.
- Serve the potatoes with some salsa on the side.
