- Once the butter in the large skillet has melted with no clumps, add the grated potatoes and red bell peppers in an even layer. Season with salt and pepper.
- Caramelize grated potatoes stirring back and forth until the potatoes are cooked and slightly golden brown.
- Transfer the potato mixture to the smaller skillet and create 3 pockets where the eggs will sit.

Notes

- This is best cooked on a cast iron skillet
- 2 medium potatoes would be the perfect amount for this recipe.
