Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes (the list shows many repeats; use 2 medium potatoes as a practical amount) - 2 tbsp vegetable oil - 1/2 tsp garam masala (adjust to taste) - 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste) - 1/8 tsp black pepper - 2 large eggs - 1 tbsp butter
Method
1) Peel (optional) and cut potatoes into thin matchsticks. Pat dry. 2) Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high with oil. Fry potatoes in a single layer 3–4 minutes until browning. 3) Toss and continue frying 5–6 minutes until golden and crisp. Season with garam masala, salt, and pepper. 4) Push fries to one side; lower heat, add butter to empty side. Whisk eggs and pour into buttered side. Scramble gently 30–60 seconds, just until soft. 5) Fold eggs into fries, adjust seasoning, and serve immediately.
Serving tips
Taste and adjust: more garam masala for warmer spice, or a splash of pepper for extra kick. Ideal for quick weeknights or a simple brunch plate.
Ingredients
- 1 medium potato
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potato if desired, then cut into thin matchsticks or 3-4 mm fries and pat very dry with a towel.
- Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high and add the vegetable oil, swirling to coat the pan.
- Add the potato sticks in a single layer or as close as possible, crowding allowed; let them cook undisturbed 3–4 minutes to start browning.
- Toss or flip the fries and continue to fry, shaking the pan occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 5–6 more minutes.
- Sprinkle the garam masala, salt, and black pepper over the fries and toss to coat evenly.
- Push the fries to one side of the pan to clear a space, lower heat to medium, and add the butter to the empty side.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk briefly, then pour into the buttered side of the pan and let them set slightly.
- Gently scramble the eggs, folding them until just cooked but still soft, about 30–60 seconds.
- Toss the scrambled eggs with the crispy fries, taste and adjust seasoning, then serve immediately.
