Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 medium russet potatoes, diced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 2 pieces of flatbread (optional, for serving)
How to Make Fried Eggs with Crispy Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
- While the potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, or to your desired doneness.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley and chives.
- To serve, place the crispy potatoes on a plate, top with the fried eggs, and if desired, serve with flatbread on the side.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra crispy potatoes, make sure they are spread out on the baking sheet without crowding them.
- If you prefer your eggs cooked through, cover the skillet with a lid for the last minute or two of cooking.
- Experiment with different fresh herbs like basil or cilantro for added flavor.
Easy Variations
- Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the eggs in the last minute of cooking for a cheesy twist.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat.
- Veggie boost: Sauté some spinach or kale in the skillet before adding the eggs for added nutrition.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
- A side of avocado for creaminess.
- A dollop of your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.
- Smoothies for a nutritious drink option.

Leftover crispy potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Fried eggs are best served fresh, but you can prepare the potatoes ahead of time for a quick breakfast option.
