Ingredients

  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 8 slices halved Canadian bacon, warmed
  • 1/4 cup prepared hollandaise sauce
  • Minced fresh parsley, optional

Directions

  2. Meanwhile, place 2-3 in. of water in a large saucepan or skillet with high sides. Bring to a boil; adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Break cold eggs, 1 at a time, into a small bowl; holding bowl close to surface of water, slip egg into water.
  3. Cook, uncovered, until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, 3-5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, lift eggs out of water. With a sharp knife, cut an X in each potato. Fluff pulp with a fork; season with salt and pepper. Top potatoes with Canadian bacon, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. If desired, sprinkle with minced parsley.
