How to Make Sunny-Side Up Eggs with Crispy Potatoes

1. Start by preparing the potatoes. Rinse and dice the potatoes into small, even cubes. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced potatoes in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
4. While the potatoes are cooking, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a separate non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
5. Crack the eggs carefully into the pan, ensuring not to break the yolks. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are fully set while the yolks remain runny.
6. Once the potatoes are crispy and the eggs are cooked to your liking, plate the potatoes and top with the sunny-side up eggs.
7. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to dry the diced potatoes well before cooking; this helps achieve maximum crispiness.
• Use a non-stick skillet for the eggs to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping if desired.
• Adjust the heat as necessary while cooking the potatoes to avoid burning while ensuring they cook through.

Easy Variations

• Add diced bell peppers or onions to the potatoes for extra flavor.
• Experiment with spices like paprika or garlic powder for a different taste.
• Top with cheese, avocado, or hot sauce for a spicy kick.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• Toast or warm bread for a hearty addition.
• A side of sautéed greens, like spinach or kale, for extra nutrients.
• A smoothie for a balanced breakfast experience.
