  1. Clean and wash the potatoes well.
  2. Using a sharp knife, make cuts across the potatoes, halfway through, from one end to the other.
  3. Place them on a tray covered with parchment paper.
  4. Brush or lightly sprinkle a few drops of olive oil over the potatoes .
  5. Sprinkle with salt, paprika, and thyme.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 200°C/390°F in a preheated oven or until they become as crispy as you like.
  7. In the meantime, cook the eggs to your liking. You can fry, poach or boil them, with runny or firm yolk. I chose runny fried eggs.
  8. When the potatoes are fully cooked, place them on a plate, sprinkle with cheese and greens, and place the egg on top.
