Best Fried Potatoes With Poached Eggs Recipes

CRISPY FRIED POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan with cold water and place over medium heat. Stir in vinegar and bring to a gentle, slow simmer. Working with one egg at a time, crack an egg into a ramekin or measuring cup for easier transfer.
• Stir the water vigorously to create a whirlpool effect. As the whirlpool is turning, drop the egg into the center of the water. Continue to stir gently, cooking until the egg white turns opaque. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the egg from the water and move to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• In a medium saucepan, heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Meanwhile, set up a dredging station with 3 separate bowls. To the first bowl, add the flour. Beat 2 eggs with salt and pepper in a second bowl. Add breadcrumbs to the third bowl. Carefully dip the cooled egg first into the flour, second into the egg mixture, and last into the breadcrumbs, coating egg on all sides at each station.
• Using a slotted spoon, carefully drop the egg into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Drain on a paper-towel lined plate.
• Garnish with pickled red onions, green onions, and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.

FRIED POTATOES WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Fill a large saucepan with water, add the potatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower to a simmer and cook about 20 minutes. Potatoes should only be parboiled at this point. Drain. Transfer to a small baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet until crispy and most of the fat has been rendered, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel and crumble. Pour the bacon fat from the pan into a heatproof bowl and set aside.
• Whisk together 3 Tbsp. of the vinegar and the mustard in a small bowl. Slowly stream in 1/4 cup of the hot bacon fat, whisking until well blended. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the potatoes from the freezer and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Pour about 1-1/2 inches of water and the remaining vinegar into a large skillet and bring to a slow simmer.
• Meanwhile, heat 3 Tbsp. of the reserved bacon fat and the canola oil in the same skillet used for the bacon over medium heat. Add the red onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Then add the potatoes. Season liberally with salt and pepper and saute until the potatoes are just cooked through, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-high and continue cooking until the potatoes are browned and crispy, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes longer.
• Transfer the potatoes to a preheated 400-degree oven while you poach the eggs.
• Crack the eggs one at a time into a cup, and then carefully slide each into the simmering water. Cook until firm, turning occasionally with a slotted spoon, for 3 to 5 minutes, and then transfer to a kitchen towel-lined plate with the slotted spoon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Toss the potatoes with the mustard-bacon vinaigrette and serve topped with the poached eggs and garnished with the reserved bacon and chives.
