This dish is a comforting classic, beloved by all who crave something crispy, savory, and oh-so-satisfying! Who doesn’t love crispy fried potatoes? Add a rich garlic sauce, and you’ve got a meal that’s simple, delicious, and full of flavor. If you’re in the mood for something extra, feel free to add a side of bacon, sausages, or any other savory treat to make it even more indulgent. It’s the perfect dish when you’re craving comfort food but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen.
Let me share a few tips for making the perfect fried potatoes with egg and garlic sauce. First, be sure to use fresh sunflower oil—oil that hasn’t been used for frying anything else. This will ensure your potatoes come out perfectly crispy and golden without any burnt taste. Also, one little secret is to heat the oil just until it’s warm, not piping hot. Or, you can place the potatoes in the oil as soon as it’s added to the pan. This way, the potatoes get crispy on the outside while staying soft and tender inside. Now, let’s get cooking!
Fried Potatoes with Egg and Garlic Sauce
Equipment
Ingredients
For the Garlic Sauce
5 garlic cloves- 1 tbsp sunflower oil olive oil works well
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Peel and wash the potatoes well, then cut them into thick slices (or you can slice them thinner, like fries or rounds, if that’s your preference). Heat the sunflower oil in a deep pan or pot, and once it’s warm (not hot!), add the sliced potatoes. Let them fry until golden and crispy. Once done, place the potatoes on paper towels to absorb excess oil and sprinkle with fine salt.
Make the Garlic Sauce
- Peel and wash the garlic cloves, then crush them well. Place the crushed garlic in a small bowl or mug. Add the salt and rub it in, then pour in the oil and a little water. Stir until you form a slightly runny paste.
Fry the Eggs
- In the same oil used to fry the potatoes, you can cook your eggs. We prefer soft yolks, but feel free to cook them to your liking. Place the fried potatoes on plates, top with a fried egg (or more, depending on your appetite), and drizzle the garlic sauce over the top. You can also sprinkle oregano, black pepper, or any other spices you enjoy.
Serve and Enjoy!
- Enjoy your crispy, garlicky, comforting dish.Bon appétit!
