Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Peel the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2 cm cubes. Rinse them in cold water to wash off the starch.

  2. Cook the potatoes

    Bring 50 cl of water to a boil in the saucepan. Add the potatoes and cook for 10 min over medium heat. Drain them in the colander.

  3. Cook the onion

    Heat the oil in the nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for 3 min until it turns translucent.

    Tip · So the onion doesn't burn, lower the heat if needed while it cooks.

  4. Add the tomatoes

    Tip the crushed tomatoes into the skillet with the onion. Simmer over low heat for 5 min, stirring with the wooden spoon.

  5. Stir in the potatoes

    Add the drained potatoes to the skillet with the tomatoes. Stir well and cook for another 5 min over low heat so the flavors come together.

  6. Make wells for the eggs

    With the wooden spoon, make four small wells in the mixture and crack the eggs into them. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

    Tip · If you like your eggs firmer, cook them 1 to 2 min longer under the lid.

  7. Cook the eggs

    Cover the skillet and cook the eggs over very low heat for 4 to 5 min, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.
