Here’s a simple recipe you can try:
Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- Optional toppings: grated cheese, chopped herbs (like parsley or chives), hot sauce
Instructions:
- Prepare the potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water to rinse off excess starch. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- Cook the potato coins:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet.
- Once the oil is hot, arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the skillet.
- Cook the potatoes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
- Remove the cooked potato coins from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt and pepper while they’re still hot.
- Fry the eggs:
- In the same skillet (add more oil if needed), crack the eggs gently and cook them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
- Assemble:
- Arrange the potato coins on serving plates.
- Top each potato coin with a fried egg.
- Sprinkle with any optional toppings you like, such as grated cheese, chopped herbs, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- Serve:
- Serve the potato coins with fried eggs immediately while they’re still warm and enjoy!
