How to Make Grated Potatoes with Eggs
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
- Peel the potatoes and use a grater to shred them into fine pieces.
- After grating, place the potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispy potatoes!
- Season the grated potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 2: Cook the Potatoes
- Heat the olive oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the grated potatoes to the skillet and spread them out evenly. Let them cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring, allowing the potatoes to crisp up on the bottom.
- After 3-4 minutes, flip the potatoes to crisp the other side, cooking for another 3-4 minutes. You want them to be golden and crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.
Step 3: Add the Eggs
- Once the potatoes are crispy and cooked through, crack the eggs over the top of the potatoes.
- Allow the eggs to cook in the skillet with the potatoes for 3-5 minutes, or until the whites are fully set but the yolks are still slightly runny. If you prefer your eggs fully cooked, simply cover the skillet for a few minutes to help them set completely.
- Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Serve the grated potatoes and eggs as is, or garnish with fresh herbs, a dollop of sour cream, some cheese, or chopped onions for extra flavor.
