Breakfast Potatoes

This dish combines two great potato recipes from Spain: patatas a lo pobre ("poor man's potatoes") and huevos rotos ("broken eggs"). Traditionally, the eggs are fried in both dishes, but here we bake everything: not to show off, but simply because it is easier. One baking sheet, one mandoline (if you have one, use it to effortlessly slice the potatoes and shallots), and you can easily feed a crowd.
