Tap a step to highlight it, or turn on Cook Mode for large type and step-by-step focus.
-
Put the potatoes in a large frying pan with 50 ml of water. Cover and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes until nearly tender. Drain off any water.
-
Add the oil and sausage and cook for 8 minutes, uncovered, until the potatoes are crisp and the sausage is browned.
-
Add the onion, pepper, garlic, paprika and salt and cook for 4 minutes.
-
Make 4 wells in the mixture. Crack an egg into each, cover and cook for 5 minutes until the whites are set.
-
Scatter with the cheddar and chives and serve from the pan.
Notes From the Method
Part-cook the potatoes before frying.
Cover the pan to set the egg whites.
Take it off the heat when the yolks still wobble.
If You're Missing Something
- An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the stand-in usually given when you are out of fresh garlic; it will not brown the same way, and it burns easily, so add it with the liquid.
Keeping What's Left
Best eaten at once. The potato mix keeps for 2 days; cook fresh eggs when serving.
