Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ butter
  • 3 russet potatoes
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • dried oregano
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  • Scrub and wash potatoes well.
    Cut potatoes into ¼- ½ inch / .5-1 cm-thick sticks.
  • Heat the oven to 450° / 225°C
  • Place a pot over medium heat, fill with water, two tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and a tablespoon of sea salt.
  • When the water boils add the sliced potatoes and cook for ten minutes.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet with a slotted spoon. 
  • Pour the olive oil all over the potatoes and mix to cover. Sprinkle dried oregano all over.
    Bake potatoes in the oven for 20 minutes. 
  • Gently mix the potatoes with a spatula, and bake for another 20 minutes. 
  • Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, adjust the seasoning if you like, and serve next to fried eggs.

Fry the eggs

  • Heat the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over low heat for 5 minutes.
    Crack an egg into a small bowl and add it to the skillet; repeat by adding another egg next to it. Cover with a tight lid and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are runny, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
    Slide the eggs out of the skillet onto a plate with oven fries.
    Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Notes

  • It is not necessary to use russet potatoes. Yukon gold will also work well or substitute with potatoes in your pantry. 
  • Vinegar helps the potatoes to retain their shape. You can use apple cider, white wine vinegar, or any in your pantry. Better not to use balsamic vinegar.
