Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium potatoes diced
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 large tomatoes diced
  • Vegetable oil for cooking
  • Chives chopped (for garnish)
  • 4 eggs
  • Salt to taste
  • 5 small tomatoes halved
  • 200 grams sour cream
  • 100 grams shredded mozzarella cheese or to taste
  • Oregano to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy.
  3. Stir in the chopped onion and diced large tomatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes until the onions soften.
  4. Make small wells in the mixture and carefully crack the eggs into them.
  5. Sprinkle with salt, oregano, and chopped chives. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs reach your desired doneness.
  6. Add the halved small tomatoes and top with shredded mozzarella. Let the cheese melt for a minute before removing from heat.
  7. Serve warm with a generous spoonful of sour cream on the side.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best texture.
  • For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
  • Substitute feta or cheddar cheese for a different flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet over low heat to keep the potatoes crispy.
