Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes or thin slices.
Rinse briefly in cold water and pat dry with a towel (this helps them crisp).
Step 2: Cook the Potatoes
Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the potatoes and spread them evenly in the pan.
Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
Step 3: Add Onion (Optional)
If using onion, add it to the pan once the potatoes start to soften.
Cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned.
Step 4: Season
Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika or chili flakes if desired.
Stir well to coat the potatoes evenly.
Step 5: Add the Eggs
Make small spaces between the potatoes.
Crack the eggs directly into the pan.
Cover the skillet and cook for 3–5 minutes, depending on how runny or firm you like the yolks.
(Optional: You can also beat the eggs and pour them over the potatoes for a scrambled version.)
Step 6: Finish and Serve
Remove from heat.
Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions.
Serve hot with bread, salad, or on its own.
