Main Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes
- 2 eggs
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Oil for frying (about 2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into medium-sized cubes for even cooking.
- Boil Potatoes: Place the diced potatoes into boiling water and cook until they are tender but still firm, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat Oil: In a frying pan, heat about 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- Fry Potatoes: Add the boiled potatoes to the pan and fry, stirring occasionally, until they develop a golden brown crust on all sides, around 5-7 minutes.
- Add Eggs: Crack the eggs directly over the fried potatoes. Cover the pan and cook until the eggs are set to your preference, about 3-5 minutes for medium doneness.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the dish to taste, mixing gently if preferred or leaving eggs intact on top.
- Serve: Serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use a non-stick pan to minimize oil usage and prevent sticking.
- For extra flavor, add chopped herbs like parsley or chives when seasoning.
- You can substitute regular oil with olive oil for a healthier option.
- Adjust seasoning according to dietary needs or preferences.
- Ensure eggs are cooked thoroughly if serving to children or those sensitive to undercooked eggs.
