Ingredients
Scale
For the Potatoes
- 4 medium Yukon Gold Potatoes, sliced into fries
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
For the Eggs
- 4 Fresh Eggs
For Cooking
- 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Slice the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1/4 inch thick oval slices, then cut each slice into fries about four pieces each.
- Heat the Oil: Place a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat and add 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil. Allow it to heat until shimmering.
- Fry the Potatoes: Season the hot oil with sea salt, then add the potato fries. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Fry until the potatoes turn golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain the Potatoes: Remove the cooked potatoes using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle additional sea salt over the potatoes to taste. Transfer them to a shallow bowl.
- Cook the Eggs: Using the same pan and leftover oil, heat over medium heat. Crack the fresh eggs directly into the pan and cook gently until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
- Assemble the Dish: Plate the crispy potatoes first and carefully place the cooked eggs on top.
- Finish with Seasonings: Dust the eggs and potatoes with smoked paprika and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For the best flavor, enjoy Spanish Broken Eggs fresh with crispy potatoes and runny yolks.
- Optionally, drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the finished dish for added richness.
- Use fresh eggs to achieve perfect runny yolks.
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt or smoked paprika based on preference.
