Ingredients

  • 150 g Pasta (dry) (about 1.5 cups)
  • 300 g Potatoes (2-3 medium tubers)
  • 2 count Eggs
  • 3 tbsp Sunflower oil
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 1 pinch Black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1
    Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente, following the instructions on the package. Drain the water.
  2. 2
    While the pasta is cooking, peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes (about 1 cm).
  3. 3
    Heat the sunflower oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and soft (about 10-12 minutes).
  4. 4
    Add the boiled pasta to the skillet with the potatoes. Season with salt and black pepper, stir, and heat together for 2 minutes.
  5. 5
    Crack the eggs directly into the skillet over the pasta and potatoes. Stir quickly with a spatula for 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked and distributed throughout the dish.
  6. 6
    Serve hot. Optionally, add a little ketchup or mustard for extra spice.

Chef's Tips

  • To make the potatoes crispier, pat them dry with a paper towel after cutting before placing them in the skillet.
  • If you prefer a more delicate texture, the eggs can be lightly whisked in a bowl before pouring them into the skillet, stirring constantly.
