Treat your ingredients with care...

• Potatoes — Make sure to cut the potatoes into thin strips to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
• Eggs — For perfectly runny yolks, cook the eggs on medium heat and avoid flipping them.

Tips & Tricks

• For extra flavor, sprinkle some smoked paprika or chili flakes over the eggs before serving.
• Add a squeeze of lemon juice over the dish for a refreshing tang.
• Experiment with different toppings such as sautéed mushrooms or roasted bell peppers.
• Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious runny yolks.
• To make it a heartier meal, serve with a side salad or roasted vegetables.

Serving advice

Serve the Huevos Rotos immediately after assembling to ensure the eggs remain warm and the potatoes stay crispy.

Presentation advice
