Here’s a “lazy but hearty” combo — in a one-pan cast-iron skillet, with flavour options.

🔥 One-Pan Chickpea & Potato Hash with Eggs

Core Ingredients (because it's what I already have):

  • Leftover potatoes (roasted or boiled? doesn’t matter)
  • Eggs
  • Chickpeas (canned or cooked)
  • Red pepper
  • Onions

Flavor boosters to consider throwing in:

  • Garlic (fresh or powder)
  • Cumin (adds warmth, works great with chickpeas)
  • Chili flakes or hot sauce (for a kick)
  • Parsley, cilantro, or even a little fresh spinach or kale
  • Lemon juice or a splash of vinegar for acid at the end

🍳 Method:

  1. Preheat skillet with olive oil or butter on medium heat.
  2. Sauté onions and red pepper until softened, ~5 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic (if using), paprika, cumin, and chili flakes — let bloom ~30 seconds.
  4. Add cubed potatoes and chickpeas — stir and press into pan a bit. Let them crisp up undisturbed for a couple of minutes.
  5. Crack in 1–2 eggs directly into little wells in the mixture. Cover skillet with lid or foil to steam until eggs are just set.
  6. Finish with salt, pepper, herbs, and acid (lemon juice or vinegar).

🧠 Lazy Bonus Variations:

  • Toss in a spoonful of pesto or harissa near the end.
  • Drizzle tahini + lemon as a finishing sauce.
  • No eggs? Use crumbled feta and just make it a veggie hash.
