Grandmother’s Potato and Egg Skillet
Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes, sliced
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 4 eggs
Instructions:
- Prep the Ingredients:
- Wash and slice the potatoes into thin rounds.
- Fry the Potatoes:
- In a large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the sliced potatoes in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the potatoes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the Eggs:
- In the same skillet, with a little oil left (or add more if needed), crack the eggs directly into the skillet.
- Cook the eggs to your desired doneness. You can scramble them or cook them sunny-side-up, depending on your preference.
- Season the eggs with a little salt and pepper.
- Combine and Serve:
- Once the eggs are cooked, place the fried potatoes back into the skillet with the eggs.
- Gently mix the potatoes and eggs together, allowing the flavors to combine.
- Enjoy:
- Serve hot as a satisfying and nostalgic dinner.
This dish brings back the comforting flavors of a simple, homemade meal, perfect for any night of the week. Enjoy!
