Appetizer Recipes Egg Potato Boats

You know that feeling when breakfast and comfort food meet halfway and decide to throw a party? That’s exactly what these egg potato boats are. I still remember the first time I made them—I burned my fingers scooping out hot potatoes because I was too impatient to wait. Lesson learned. Still, the smell of baked potatoes filling the kitchen made the wait totally worth it. The idea is simple, but the result feels like you pulled off some kind of kitchen magic. Potatoes get hollowed out, then baked with eggs until the yolks are just set. You don’t need any fancy tools, just a spoon, a pan, and a little confidence. If you’re following Whole30 recipes or looking for a potato boats recipe that doubles as comfort food, you’ve found your winner. What I love most is how flexible they are. These little boats work for breakfast, a quick snack, or even a party spread. They sit happily next to other paleo recipes, and they fit neatly into recipes Whole30 style. They’re hearty without being heavy, healthy without being boring, and honestly—they’re fun to eat. Try them once and you’ll start looking for excuses to make them again.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scrub the potatoes well and prick them with a fork. Bake for about 45 minutes until tender.
  3. Let potatoes cool slightly, then slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the centers, leaving enough around the edges to keep shape.
  4. Brush the insides with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  5. Crack an egg into each potato half and place them back on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake another 12–15 minutes until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your liking.
