De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

   Ongeveer 1 min

2. 2

   Add the sliced potatoes to the hot oil and fry gently, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes.

   Ongeveer 15 min

   Tip van de kok: The potatoes should be soft inside and slightly crispy on the outside, not deeply fried.

3. 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.

   Ongeveer 3 min

4. 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.

   Ongeveer 1 min

5. 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.

   Ongeveer 3 min

   Tip van de kok: You can baste the yolks with hot oil for a more evenly cooked white.

6. 6

   Divide the fried potatoes between two plates. Top each serving with the crispy serrano ham.

7. 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.

   Tip van de kok: The runny yolk is key to the dish's flavor and texture.
