Huevos Rotos With Potatoes
Spanish-style fried potatoes topped with crisp-edged eggs whose soft yolks are broken over the potatoes just before serving.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Cut the peeled potatoes into even batons. Rinse them in cold water, drain, and dry thoroughly.
-
Step 2
Pour 1 ¾ cup (450 ml) olive oil into the deep skillet and heat it over medium heat to 170°C.
-
Step 3
Fry the potatoes in batches until tender inside and golden at the edges. Transfer each batch to the serving platter with a slotted spoon.
-
Step 4
Season the hot potatoes with ⅝ tsp (4 gr) salt and spread them in an even layer.
-
Step 5
Heat 3 ¼ tbsp (50 ml) olive oil in the frying pan over medium heat. Add the eggs and fry until the whites are fully set and the yolks remain soft, about 3 minutes.
-
Step 6
Place the fried eggs over the potatoes and season with the remaining ⅜ tsp (2 gr) salt. Break the yolks open and gently toss them through the potatoes before serving immediately.
