How to cook Fried eggs in potato form

Step 1

Peel, wash and grate potatoes on a medium grater. Drain excess juice and season with salt.

Step 2

Lay out thin strips of grated potatoes on a heated frying pan. With a fork or spatula we create the shapes we need. The thickness of the layer is about 1.5-2 cm. Cook until golden brown over medium heat.

Step 3

After frying on one side, carefully turn over and break the egg inside. Salt and fry until the eggs are cooked.

Step 4

You can add any ingredients of your choice. This time I have olives, dill and finely grated hard cheese. Enjoy your meal.

Fried eggs in potato form - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?

Yes, sweet potatoes can be used as a substitute. They will add a slightly sweeter flavor to the dish.

What other ingredients can I add to the fried eggs?

Get creative! Consider adding chopped ham, bacon bits, sautéed mushrooms, spinach, bell peppers, or different types of cheese to customize your fried eggs.

How can I make this recipe vegetarian if I add meat?

Ensure you omit any meat products like bacon or ham. The base recipe is already vegetarian.

Can I prepare the potato base ahead of time?

It's best to cook the potato base immediately after grating to prevent discoloration. If you must prepare ahead, submerge the grated potatoes in cold water with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning, then drain thoroughly before using.

How do I prevent the potato strips from sticking to the pan?

Make sure your frying pan is properly heated before adding the potatoes and use a non-stick pan. Also, using enough oil or butter in the pan is important.

Is there a way to make this recipe low-carb?

To lower the carbs, consider using a lower-carb vegetable like cauliflower rice pressed to remove excess moisture, as a substitute for the potatoes, though it will change the flavor and texture.

Can I freeze these for later?

Freezing is not recommended as the potatoes will become soggy and the egg texture will change significantly. It is best to eat it immediately.

How can I adjust the recipe to make a larger batch?

Simply increase the amount of potatoes, eggs, and other ingredients proportionally based on the number of servings you want to make. Use a larger pan or cook in batches.

What can I serve with these fried eggs in potato form?

These are great on their own, or you can serve them with a side salad, some toast, or a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt.
