How to Make Crispy Potatoes with Fried Egg
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- While the potatoes are roasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, taking care not to break the yolks. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks remain runny.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and transfer to plates. Top each serving with a fried egg and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy potatoes topped with a perfect fried egg!
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra crispy potatoes, soak the diced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting. This helps to remove excess starch.
- Ensure your oven is fully preheated before placing the potatoes inside.
- For a kick of flavor, add garlic powder or smoked paprika to the potatoes before roasting.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the fresh herbs for sautéed spinach or arugula for a different flavor profile.
- Add crumbled feta or shredded cheese on top of the egg for an extra indulgent touch.
- Spice things up by adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
What to Serve With It
- Sliced avocado for a creamy contrast
- A light salad with lemon vinaigrette
- Crispy bacon or sausage for a heartier meal
- Fresh fruit for a refreshing side
Storage and Reheating
Leftover crispy potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and warm in a 375°F (190°C) oven until crispy again, about 10-15 minutes. Fried eggs are best enjoyed fresh, so it’s recommended to cook them just before serving.
