This Spicy Potato Shakshuka is made with spiced tomato sauce, harissa, poached eggs and garnished with cilantro and feta cheese!

This Spicy Potato Shakshuka is the ultimate one-pan dish that can be enjoyed for dinner or breakfast. Making authentic shakshuka sauce can take take up to 1 hour. With Mina Shakshuka sauce, you can enjoy an authentic shakshuka in just 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro or parsley and enjoy with crusty bread for mopping up the sauce.

If you can’t get your hands on Mina Shakshuka Sauce, you can alternatively use 1 (28 oz) can of crushed San Marzano Tomatoes,  (12 oz) jar of roasted red peppers, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1 teaspoon cumin. Add those four ingredients when you would add the Mina Shakshuka sauce. Continue the instructions the same.

How to make Potato Shakshuka

In a lidded large saucepan on medium heat, heat the olive oil and wait for it to shimmer. Add the onion and potatoes and sauté until the onions and potatoes are soft, about 10 minutes. Add garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pour in the Shakshuka Sauce as well as the Harissa and bring to a simmer. Increase the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly and the potatoes are fork-tender, about 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt and pepper as needed.

Using the back of a spoon, create 4 to 6 evenly space wells for the eggs. Crack the eggs into each well, keeping the yolks intact. Cover the skillet and cook until the egg whites are set, about 10 minutes.

Garnish with parsley, feta seeds, and sesame seeds.

    The potato is such a great addition to a shakshuka, I never knew! I wish I knew of this earlier.
