Cook time: 25 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 18 oz unpeeled floury potatoes cut into ½ inch chunks
• 0.5 cup water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0 to taste salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion chopped
• 0 olive oil
• 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar optional
• 2 oz butter
• 4 large eggs
• 0 toast to serve, optional

Instructions

1. Put the potatoes in a single layer in a large frying pan over high heat. Add ½ cup of water, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, covered, for 8 minutes or until the water has evaporated; the potatoes should be tender but firm.
3. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the potatoes and season with salt. Gently toss to combine, scraping up any skin stuck to the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, without stirring, for 7 minutes until golden and crisp underneath.
4. Turn the potatoes over, drizzle with another 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook for a further 5 minutes until golden and crisp.
5. Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a separate frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5-7 minutes until soft.
6. Add the onion to the potatoes, drizzle with vinegar if using, and gently toss to combine. Remove from heat.
7. Melt butter in another large frying pan over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and cook for 3 minutes or until the yolks are just set.
8. Divide the home fries among plates and add the fried eggs. Serve with toast if desired. Drizzle any remaining butter from the pan over the eggs.
