Recipe Notes

Place the fried potato straws generously on the pan and press it gently with a spatula before breaking the eggs on them. By doing this the potatoes will be dense and form a crisp pan shaped basket that will be easy to break while serving.

The eggs can be fully or partially cooked. You can keep the eggs runny if you want. That totally depends on ones personal preference.
