Southwestern Scrambled Egg & Black Bean Hash Bowl with roasted potatoes, scrambled eggs, black beans, salsa verde and cilantro in a pale gray ceramic bowl

Roasting the potatoes while you warm the beans and scramble the eggs means everything is ready together. Salsa verde adds tang and a little heat without much effort.

Why this recipe works

Smoked paprika on the potatoes gives a chorizo-like flavor without meat. Gentle heat keeps the eggs fluffy.

Ingredient notes

Jarred salsa verde (tomatillo salsa) varies in heat.

Common mistakes

  • Scrambling eggs on high heat.
  • Overcrowding the potatoes.

What to serve with it

Avocado, hot sauce or warm tortillas.

Meal prep

Potatoes and beans prep ahead; cook eggs fresh.

Cooking tips

Pull the eggs just before they look fully done. Toss the potatoes halfway through roasting.

Swaps and variations

Use sweet potatoes. Add cooked chorizo for a meat version.

Storing and reheating

Refrigerate potatoes and beans within 2 hours for up to 4 days. Eggs are best fresh.

Ingredients

4 servings

You’ll need: rimmed sheet pan; nonstick skillet; small saucepan

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the potatoes with the olive oil, smoked paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt and roast 25 to 30 minutes, until crisp.

  2. Warm the black beans with the cumin and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan 5 minutes.

  3. Whisk the eggs with the remaining salt. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and cook the eggs, stirring gently, 4 to 5 minutes until just set with no liquid egg (160°F / 71°C).

  4. Divide potatoes, beans and eggs among 4 bowls and top with salsa verde and cilantro.
