Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel and cut into thin strips.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Fry the potato strips until they are golden and a bit crispy (if too crispy won't absorb the yolk).
- Once cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Season with salt.
- Cook the Eggs:
- In the same pan, add more olive oil if needed.
- Crack the eggs into the pan, keeping the yolks intact.
- Fry the eggs to your desired level of doneness. For huevos rotos, it's common to have runny yolks.
- Assemble:
- Place the crispy potato slices on a serving platter.
- Sprinkle sweet paprika over the potatoes for an added layer of flavor and a touch of warmth.
- Gently place the fried eggs on top of the potatoes, allowing the runny yolks to break and mix with the potatoes.
- Arrange slices of Ibérico ham on top of the eggs and potatoes. The warmth from the dish will slightly soften the ham, enhancing its flavor.
- Garnish: If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a pop of color and added freshness.
- Serve immediately while the eggs are hot, the yolks are runny, and the Iberico ham is a bit warm and more flavorful.
