Broken Eggs (Huevos Rotos)

We’re back with a simple recipe, one of those everyone knows how to make, but that we wanted to share with you for two simple reasons: first and most important, it’s a really easy dish that you usually eat when you’re out for drinks but not at home (this is our way of encouraging you to make it yourself), and second because we’ve got a little tip about how to fry the potatoes. Want to know what it is? You’ll have to read the rest of the recipe.

What do we need?

  • Good quality cured ham

  • 3 large potatoes

  • 2 farm-fresh eggs

  • Olive oil

  • Salt

How do we make it?

  • While we heat the oil in a pan (preferably a deep one), we separate or cut up the ham.

  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into irregular bite-sized pieces.

  • Once the oil is nice and hot, lower it to medium heat and add the potatoes. Let them cook more than fry.

  • When they’re soft, take them out and set aside on a plate. Turn the heat back up.

  • Fry the eggs and set them aside.

  • Now with the heat high, put the potatoes back in to brown them. This way they’ll be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

  • After draining them on a paper towel, arrange them on a plate or platter, add the ham and eggs, and enjoy.

[English version] HUEVOS ROTOS (FRENCH FRIES WITH EGGS AND SPANISH HAM)* *Ingredients:

  • Spanish cured ham

  • 3 potatoes

  • 2 free-range eggs

  • Olive oil

  • Salt

  • Heat the olive oil in a deep saucepan. In the meanwhile, cut the ham into medium size pieces and the potatoes in irregular pieces the size of a mouthful.

  • *When olive oil is very hot, reduce heat into medium and put the potatoes. Let them simmer. *

  • *When the potatoes are cooked (soft but white), take them out of the pan. Increase heat again. *

  • Fry the eggs and set aside.

  • When the heat is high again, fry again the potatoes until golden brown. They will be soft in the inside and crusty in the outside.

  • *Take them out into a plate with kitchen paper to remove the extra oil. Place the potatoes into a large plate, the eggs and ham over them and enjoy! *

Huevos rotos

Volvemos a la carga con una receta sencilla, de esas que todos sabemos hacer, pero que nos gustaría compartir con vosotros por dos sencillas razones: la primera y más importante, que es una plato muy fácil y que sueles comer cuando estás de cañas pero no en casa (es una forma de animaros a hacerlo) y segunda por que tenemos un pequeño consejo sobre cómo freír las patatas. ¿Lo queréis conocer? Tendréis que leer el resto de la receta.

¿Qué necesitamos?

  • Jamón del rico

  • 3 patatas grandres

  • 2 huevos de pueblo

  • Aceite de oliva

  • Sal

¿Cómo lo hacemos?

  • Mientras ponemos a calentar el aceite en una sartén, mejor si es profunda, separamos o cortamos el jamón.

  • Pelamos las patatas y las cortamos en trozos irregulares del tamaño de un bocado.

  • Cuando el aceite esté bien caliente lo bajamos a fuego medio y echamos las patatas. Dejamos que se cuezan más que freirse.

  • Una vez estén blandas las sacamos y reservamos en un plato. Volvemos a subir el fuego. 

  • Hacemos los huevos fritos y los reservamos. 

  • Ahora con el fuego caliente volvemos a echar las patatas para que se doren. Así quedarán crujientes por fuera y blandas por dentro.

  • Después de escurrirlas en un papel de cocina las colocamos en un plato o fuente, añadimos el jamón y los huevos y a disfrutar.
