Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons butter, ghee, or olive oil
- 1 to 1 1/2 pounds new rose potatoes, quartered
- 4 large shallots, peeled and sliced
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 to 4 large eggs
- Fresh parsley (roughly chopped) or sliced chives, for garnish
- Red pepper flakes (optional), for garnish
Instructions
- Heat Pan and Add Fat: Place a cast iron pan over high heat and add the butter, ghee, or olive oil. Allow the fat to melt and heat until shimmering.
- Cook Potatoes: Add the quartered new rose potatoes to the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to promote even browning. Adjust the heat lower if the potatoes begin to brown too quickly.
- Add Shallots: Incorporate the sliced shallots with the potatoes. Continue cooking until the shallots are caramelized and the potatoes have become golden and crispy, about 10 more minutes.
- Season: Sprinkle the potatoes and shallots with sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Stir to combine and distribute seasoning evenly.
- Create Wells and Add Eggs: Using the back of a large spoon, make 3 to 4 wells in the potatoes. Carefully crack one egg into each well, keeping the yolks intact.
- Cook Eggs: Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the egg whites are solid but the yolks remain runny, about 4 to 6 minutes depending on heat.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the lid and sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley or chives and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan for best results to get crispy potatoes.
- Adjust cooking heat as needed to prevent burning but maintain browning.
- For firmer yolks, cook eggs longer with lid on.
- New rose potatoes can be substituted with Yukon gold or baby red potatoes.
- Ghee or olive oil are great for adding depth of flavor and crispiness.
- Optional red pepper flakes add a spicy kick but can be omitted for milder taste.
