Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or your favorite herbs)
How to Make Crispy Potatoes with Fried Egg
- Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat the potatoes in oil.
- Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. If they begin to stick, add a little more olive oil as needed.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in another non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
- Once the potatoes are crispy, remove them from the heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- To serve, divide the crispy potatoes onto plates and top each serving with a sunny-side-up egg. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or your choice of herbs.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra crispiness, soak the diced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. This helps remove excess starch.
- Make sure the skillet is hot enough before adding the potatoes to achieve that crispy texture.
- Use a non-stick skillet for frying the eggs to prevent sticking and make flipping easier if desired.
Easy Variations
- Add diced bell peppers or onions to the potatoes for extra flavor and nutrition.
- For a spicy kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the potatoes or eggs.
- Swap out the parsley for chives, cilantro, or green onions for a different herbaceous touch.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side
- Sliced avocado for added creaminess
- Toasted bread or bagels for a hearty complement
- A side of mixed greens with a light vinaigrette
