Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry potatoes and eggs in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. The products are simple and affordable and can always be found in every home. Wash, peel and cut the potatoes into strips or cubes, as you prefer. You can read about how to choose the right oil for frying and the frying pan itself in articles on this topic. There are links to them at the end of this recipe under the steps.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the chopped potatoes again to remove excess starch and place them in a colander to drain the water and dry the potatoes. It is better to use non-crumbly varieties for frying, so that they do not turn into mashed potatoes during the cooking process.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan, turn on the heat, and heat it up. Place potatoes in boiling oil, reduce heat to medium and fry potatoes over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you want the potatoes to turn out soft, then you need to fry them in a frying pan under a closed lid and only at the end remove the lid and let the potatoes brown.

4. STEP 4

   

   To obtain rosy and crispy fried potatoes, you need to fry them without covering the pan with a lid during the entire cooking process. Add salt and spices to the pan with the potatoes. If you wish, you can use ready-made seasoning for potatoes; it includes turmeric, which will give the potatoes a beautiful golden hue. Gently stir the potatoes and fry for another 5 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are separated. Pour the egg mixture over all the potatoes in the pan. You can simply crack the chicken eggs directly into the frying pan with the potatoes, and then quickly and carefully mix the ingredients, or leave them whole, whichever you prefer.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cover the pan with a lid and reduce heat to low. Fry the potatoes and eggs for about 10 minutes. Remove the lid and let the dish dry. Turn off the heat and serve. Bon appetit!

I saw a recipe for fried potatoes with eggs in a frying pan in my bookmarks and really wanted to eat it) I was alone at home, so I made myself an individual portion. I wanted to diversify this dish, so I added a small onion, cut into half rings, and a few pieces of smoked lard. High in calories, of course, but sometimes you can afford it) I cut the potatoes into thin cubes, washed and dried them. Then fried it with lard and onions. I took one egg and cracked it directly into the frying pan on top of the potatoes. Then I sprinkled with green onions for flavor and a little spice. It's just fire! It’s so good to treat yourself to delicious fried potatoes with various toppings)

It’s a good option to slightly diversify the usual side dishes; it’s prepared easily and simply from the simplest ingredients, but personally, I still like regular fried potatoes much more.
