This simple skillet recipe is the perfect dish to prepare when you come back from vacation (or a long day at work) to a bare pantry and a nearly empty fridge. It gets food on the table fast by relying on flavorful long-lasting staples that don’t wilt while you’re out of town. Sauerkraut (which keeps up to six months in the refrigerator) adds bright, funky freshness to golden brown potatoes and jammy eggs. And the whole meal comes together in about 30 minutes, start to finish.
