How to Make Crispy Potatoes with Fried Egg
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While it heats, wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- While the potatoes are roasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil if desired, and crack in the eggs. Fry the eggs to your preferred doneness—sunny side up or over-easy—cooking for about 3-4 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve the crispy potatoes on a plate, topping each serving with a fried egg.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, additional salt, and pepper to taste. Enjoy your delicious breakfast!
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or paprika to the potato seasoning.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet; this ensures even crisping.
- For perfectly fried eggs, use medium-low heat and cover the skillet to help the tops cook through without flipping.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the baby potatoes for sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile.
- Add sautéed spinach or kale for a touch of greens.
- Top with avocado slices or a sprinkle of feta cheese for an extra creamy element.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- A slice of crusty bread or toast for added crunch.
- A side of crispy bacon or sausage for heartiness.

Crispy baby potatoes are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes until crispy again. Fried eggs are best made fresh but can be reheated in the microwave for a few seconds.
