Ingredients

  • 1 medium potato peeled and cut into ½-inch fries
  • Olive oil for frying
  • Salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature

Instructions

  • Heat a small skillet with at least 1 inch of oil over low heat or use a deep fryer set at 300°F.
  • Fry the potato slices in two batches until softened but not browned.
  • Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°F to keep the potatoes warm.
  • Then, heat the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat or in the deep fryer set to 350°F.
  • Return the par-cooked potatoes to the hot oil for a few seconds until crispy but not browned.
  • Drain on paper towels again, season with salt, and place in an oven-safe dish to keep warm in the oven.
  • In a separate skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until it begins to smoke slightly.
  • Carefully crack the eggs into the hot oil and cook briefly until the whites are just set underneath.
  • Instead of flipping, gently roll them over with a spatula without browning.
  • Season with salt.
  • Place the fried eggs over the warm, crispy potatoes in the dish.
  • Cut up the eggs and mix them with the potatoes, ensuring the yolks blend with the potatoes.
