*recipe came from my mama- I was told it’s based on a cookbook called “The Supper Book” by Marion Cunningham
Now that is both clever and unique! I think I will try it!
What a FANTASTIC idea!! I LOVE potato skins and…..for breakfast? Outstanding!!
Your web page is confusing me!! I have you listed in my “blogs I like to visit” and it tells me how long its been since you posted anything. Well today it says you haven’t posted anything in 3 weeks!! So….when you commented on my waffles today, I clicked on your name and it took me to thedomesticmama.com and its just an introduction. To see todays post, I have to go to that introduction and then click on the right where it says (theres more…) and I click on November and THEN todays post pops up. Thats a lot of clicks!! What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to get immediately to todays recipe? Why does it say you haven’t posted in 3 weeks (on my favorite blogs list)? I’m confused lol.
WOW these look absolutely AMAZING. What a clever idea to hollow out the potatoes and placing an egg inside, I will make these for my fiance I know he will love them.
What a lovely idea! I’m the health and fitness blogger for Glamour.com. I’d love to feature this on my blog tomorrow, with a link back to you. Hope that’s OK–just holler if not, but I’ll plan on a morning post. Many thanks!
These look great and perfect for meatless Monday! Thanks for sharing.
LOVE this idea! Sometimes the simplest, most honest meals are the best.
Those look really great, and a killer idea to place an egg inside the potato shell. I am going to have to try this one as a couple of my kids really dig eggs and potatoes. Good work.
What a great idea! They are the perfect breakfast: egg, potato, cheese, and bacon!
What a neat idea indeed!!!
These look fantastic. I might need to bake up some potatoes tonight just so I can have this in the morning.
This is a fabulous idea. I’m jealous that I didn’t think of it first! You are quite clever!
Oh thats so cool! I gotta try that!
So can’t wait to try these. MANY THANKS!!! How did we not think of these sooner???

Now that’s really an appetizing breakfast. I’ll try this tomorrow. THANKS!
Genius! Seriously, these look awesome!
I love this recipe! What a fabulous idea. I can see so many variations here- how about adding smoked salmon and capers? Chili and cheese? Great idea- thanks for sharing!
What a yummy idea for brunch, for dinner, for breakfast – for anything.
But what do you do with all the potato you scooped out?

That’s another post! LOL- I sometimes make “potato candy” or mash em up and make my potato patties.
Now that looks positively delicious….my mouth is watering wishing I coul bite into one of those…..yummmm….your pics are incredible!
Love this! I am so going to try this! Great pics!
Looks delicious ! Going to add that to the Sunday brunch menu
What a great idea, with the potato skins. I am definitely going to try this soon.
These look so good! Wish I had leftover potatoes this morning!
I wouldn’t think of doing that. My husband would love it.
I am acquiring some backyard chickens in the next few weeks and can’t wait to try this with my very own eggs! Next I’ll have to try growing potatoes…
That looks really super yummy. It looks like breakfast that would be perfect to wake up to after a rough night
This looks unbelievably tasty. I need to try it.
Truly simplicity at it’s best. So easy and simple yet tasty way to start your day.
I can’t wait to try these.. They look so delicious! I bet the eggs and potatoes resemble hash browns a little bit.. I bet we can do these on the grill camping. YUM!

That is a brilliant idea! I will definitely be giving it a try.
yum! i might have to bake some potatoes today so i can have this for breakfast in the morning.
I love this! What a great idea for breakfast! I seriously can’t wait to give this recipe a try!
Wow! These look delicious! We raise our own chickens, so I’m always on the look-out for good egg recipes…this one looks like a keeper!
These look beautiful. I want one right now!!!
Hello just thought i’d tell you something.. That is twice now i?ve landed on your blog inside the last three weeks seeking totally unrelated things. Fantastic Info! Maintain up the excellent function.
what is done with the potatoe that was taken out of cooked potatoe….thank you
You can mash them with a bit of butter, cream and salt and pepper, a side dish for supper later on!
These are some of the most interesting stuffed potatoes I’ve seen. They look fantastic.
What a fabulous idea! These looks great. Can’t wait to try them.
wow what an idea……….love It !!!
Love this idea. It’s the best!! I love eggs just about any ol’ way!!!
Honestly, has anyone actually cooked thes yet? It seems to me that you would want to fully cook the potatoe before adding the egg. Otherwise you would be biting into a nice crisp raw potatoe or a terribly over cooked egg. It’s awful nice for everyone to be slapping you on the ass and passing out kudos, but I wouldn’t mind hearing from someone that has cooked the recipe.
The recipe states (in the first photo) that you start with a leftover BAKED potato. That will eliminate any raw potato.
I just made this tonight, and it was delicious! I don’t eat meat, so I skipped the bacon. The only problem was that by the time the egg white was cooked thoroughly enough for my liking, the yolk was more medium and I wished it was a little more runny.
I suppose that is more of a personal taste thing though. Wonderful recipe, thank you! I will definitely be trying this again.
