Let's cook

  1. Par-boil the potatoes

    Boil the diced potatoes for 6 minutes until just tender at the edges, then drain and steam-dry in the colander for 5 minutes.

    💡

    Par-boiling then drying is what gives crisp outsides and fluffy centres. Raw potato in the pan takes forever and burns.

  2. Brown the sausage

    Cook the sausage in the oil, breaking it up, until browned. Remove, leaving the fat.

  3. Fry the potatoes undisturbed

    Add the potatoes in one layer and leave them completely alone for 6 minutes before turning. Repeat twice.

    💡

    Every time you stir, you interrupt the crust. Leave them alone.

  4. Add vegetables

    Add the onion, pepper, and paprika and cook 5 minutes, then return the sausage.

  5. Crack in the eggs

    Make four wells, crack an egg into each, cover, and cook 4 minutes until the whites set and the yolks still run. Top with scallions.

📝 Tips, swaps, and make-ahead notes

A wide, heavy pan matters more than anything else here — a crowded pan steams the potatoes instead of frying them. Use two pans if cooking for more than four.

  • Vegetarian: Halloumi or black beans in place of the sausage.
  • Sweet potato: Works well; par-boil for 4 minutes only.
  • Leftovers: Any roast vegetables can go in.
