Cuisine: Greek
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- 2 eggs
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes, then slice them into thin, uniform rounds approximately 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
- Carefully add the potato slices to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows each potato slice to crisp evenly.
- Season the potatoes with salt to taste. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Once the potatoes are crisp and golden, push them to one side of the skillet, creating space for the eggs.
- Crack the eggs directly into the empty space in the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks.
- Cook the eggs sunny-side up for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
- Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the crispy potatoes and eggs to serving plates.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while the potatoes are hot and crispy, and the eggs are still warm.
Tips
- Choose the right potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russet for the crispiest results.
- Slice evenly: Uniform potato slices ensure consistent cooking and crispiness.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Give each potato slice enough space to crisp up properly.
- Use medium-high heat: This helps create a perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Season generously: Don't be shy with salt – it brings out the potatoes' natural flavor.
- Fresh eggs make a difference: Use the freshest eggs possible for the best sunny-side-up result.
- Keep the yolk runny: The creamy yolk is what makes this dish truly spectacular.
- Serve immediately: These potatoes and eggs are best enjoyed piping hot and fresh from the skillet.
