Method
Peel the potatoes3, cut into thin sticks, rinse, and pat dry with a towel.
Heat a skillet with oil, add the potatoes3, and fry for 12–15 minutes over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until tender and golden.
Push the potatoes3 aside, add sliced bacon2, and cook for 3–4 minutes until the fat renders slightly.
Crack the eggs1 into the empty space, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 4–5 minutes until the whites set but the yolks stay runny.
Toast5 the bread on a dry skillet for 1 minute per side until crisp.
Garnish the eggs1 with chopped green4 onion and serve with the potatoes3, bacon2, and toast5.
Tips
- Why it works
- Cut the potato into thin sticks so it fries evenly and doesn't fall apart. If you cut it thick, it stays raw inside.
- Substitutions
- Swap the bacon for 45 g of doctor's sausage, it will be softer but release less fat. Instead of sandwich bread, dry out a 35 g slice of rye loaf.
- Common mistakes
- If you overcook the eggs, the white turns rubbery and the yolk sets hard. Check after 4 minutes, when the white has set.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for no more than 1 day. Reheat in the microwave for 1 minute under a lid, but crisp up fresh toast instead.
- Serve with
- Serve with a cup of strong coffee or juice for a festive breakfast, when you need to feed guests fast.
