Scale

- 2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
Peppers and Potatoes
- Wash the peppers and cut into chunks.
- Peel and wash the potatoes then slice them into pieces about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the potatoes until they start to crisp on the edges. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, fry the peppers on high heat for 5 minutes or until they start to crisp around the edges. Turn off the heat and add the potatoes back to the pan. Season with salt.
Polenta Fries
- Beat the egg in a small bowl.
- Cut the polenta into 1/2 inch thick strips about 3 inches long.
- Place the polenta strips into the bowl with the beaten egg.
- In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Coat each piece of polenta in the bread crumb mixture.
- Heat the oil in a small pan over medium-high heat and fry the polenta strips until crispy on the outside.
- Prepare the eggs in your preferred method and plate over the pepper and potato mixture. Add a few polenta fries to each plate.
- Enjoy while hot.
Notes
- You can cook the eggs directly in the pan with the pepper and potato mixture if you like as well. Simply make a little nest for each egg and cover with a lid for 3-5 minutes on medium heat depending on how soft you like your egg yolks.
