How to Make Crispy Potatoes with Fried Eggs
- Start by boiling the diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water for about 10 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the boiled potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd them. Fry the eggs to your desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes for sunny-side-up.
- To serve, divide the crispy potatoes among plates, top with fried eggs, and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Enjoy immediately!
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to dry the boiled potatoes thoroughly before frying to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast iron to prevent sticking.
