Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chips or fries.
- Pat the potato slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
- Distribute the potato slices evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and crispy.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon sugar, and minced garlic cloves. Set aside.
- Rinse and dry the lettuce leaves. Tear them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a salad bowl.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the lettuce.
- Just before serving, drizzle the prepared salad dressing over the lettuce and tomatoes. Toss gently to combine.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Crack the eggs into the pan and cook them sunny-side up, or to your preferred doneness. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Plate the baked potato chips on one side of a serving dish.
- Place the cooked eggs beside the chips.
- Add a portion of the salad to the plate.
- Serve immediately while the chips are hot and crispy, and the eggs are perfectly cooked.
Tips:
- Use starchy potatoes for the best results when making homemade chips. Varieties like Russet or Maris Piper are ideal.
- Ensure the potatoes are cut evenly to cook uniformly, giving you crispy and golden brown chips.
- To enhance the flavor, toss the potato chips in olive oil and salt before baking or frying.
- Consider using a non-stick skillet for the eggs to prevent sticking and achieve an even cook.
- Serve the eggs immediately after cooking to maintain the perfect runny or set yolk, depending on your preference.
- To add a bit of zest to the side salad, mix the lemon juice, sugar, and minced garlic into a simple but delicious dressing.
And there you have it – a delightful and easy-to-make Egg and Chips recipe that is sure to become a favorite in your household. With crispy homemade chips, perfectly cooked eggs, and a refreshing salad, this meal is both hearty and nutritious. Enjoy your culinary creation!
