The method

Step by step

1
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
About 1 min
2
Add the sliced potatoes to the hot oil and fry gently, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
About 15 min
Cook’s note: The potatoes should be soft inside and slightly crispy on the outside, not deeply fried.
3
While the potatoes are cooking, gently fry the serrano ham in a separate small pan over medium heat until slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
About 3 min
4
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain any excess oil. Season with salt and pepper.
About 1 min
5
Carefully crack the eggs into the same pan with the remaining oil. Fry them until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: You can baste the yolks with hot oil for a more evenly cooked white.
6
Divide the fried potatoes between two plates. Top each serving with the crispy serrano ham.
7
Place two fried eggs on top of the potatoes and ham on each plate. Break the yolks with a fork just before serving to mix with the potatoes.
Cook’s note: The runny yolk is key to the dish's flavor and texture.
