1.5 lb potatoes
4 eggs
1 cup olive oil
1 tsp salt

How to cook it

Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin sticks or wedges, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat and fry the potatoes in a single layer, turning occasionally, for about 12 minutes until golden outside and tender inside.
Lift the potatoes out with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel lined plate, season with half the salt, and keep them warm.
Pour off all but a couple tablespoons of the hot oil, crack in the eggs, and fry until the whites are fully set but the yolks are still runny, spooning a little hot oil over the whites as they cook.
Season the eggs with the remaining salt and serve them straight from the pan over the potatoes so the yolk breaks and runs into them.
