How to Make Crispy Potatoes with Fried Egg
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, cut side down. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- While the potatoes are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil if desired.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the potatoes are crispy, remove them from the oven. Plate the potatoes and top each serving with a fried egg. Garnish with fresh herbs.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the potatoes are well dried after washing to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Use a hot oven to create a crispy exterior.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; this helps the potatoes roast instead of steam.
- If you prefer your eggs cooked through, simply cover the skillet for the last minute of cooking.
Easy Variations
- Add spices: Toss the potatoes with garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite seasoning blends before roasting for extra flavor.
- Cheese lover? Sprinkle grated cheese on the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- For an added veggie boost, mix in some sliced bell peppers or onions with the potatoes.
What to Serve With It
- A fresh green salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
- Crispy bacon or sausage for a hearty meal.
- Sliced avocado or guacamole for creaminess.
- Toasted sourdough bread to soak up the egg yolks.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftover crispy potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and pop them in a 375°F (190°C) oven for about 10 minutes to regain their crispiness. Fried eggs are best fresh, but you can store them separately and reheat in the skillet briefly.
