🛒 Ingredients (Serves 1–2)
- 2 medium potatoes
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp oil or butter
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Paprika or chili flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley or green onion (optional)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and grate them (or finely dice for more texture).
Rinse briefly, then squeeze out as much water as possible—this is key for crispiness.
Step 2: Cook the Potatoes
Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
Step 3: Add the Eggs
Make two small wells in the potatoes and crack the eggs into them.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook 3–4 minutes until the whites are set and yolks are cooked to your liking.
Step 4: Finish & Serve
Sprinkle with paprika or chili flakes and add fresh herbs if you like.
Serve hot, straight from the pan.
