Provided by Frank Tiu

Yield 12 potato cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 medium russet potatoes
2 teaspoons salt, divided, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon fresh parsley
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups shredded cheese blend
5 strips bacon, cooked and finely chopped
12 large eggs

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
With a mandolin or a sharp knife, carefully cut the potatoes into ¹⁄₁₆-inch (1 mm) thick slices.
Add the potato slices to a large bowl and cover with water. Toss the potatoes around to remove excess starch, then drain.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt, the pepper, paprika, and garlic powder and toss the potatoes until evenly coated.
Add the oil to a small bowl. Dip a paper towel in the oil and grease the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin.
Arrange 5 potatoes around the sides of a muffin cup, overlapping slightly. Place 1 slice on the bottom to create a flower. Repeat with the remaining potato slices. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the potato cups.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove the potato cups from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
Sprinkle bacon over the cheese. Add an egg to each cup. Sprinkle with salt.
Bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the egg whites are mostly cooked.
Serve warm.
Enjoy!
