2. Fried Potatoes as a Side Dish to the Poached Egg

If you have any boiled potatoes left from the day before, fry your potatoes directly in the pan. I like to prepare crispy fried potatoes from fresh, raw potatoes and fry the potato slices in hot vegetable oil.

3. Making fried roast Potatoes as Star Chef!

In the starred excellent kitchen of Alfons Schuhbeck in Munich, Bavaria, we did it exactly as I described it above. Yes, we even fried the cooked potato slices so that they always brown evenly. After frying, the fried potato slices are placed in a hot pan with foamed butter. Finally, these roast potatoes are a real hit when they are tossed and seasoned with salt, pepper, nutmeg, caraway and marjoram!

At the same time you can prepare the tomato cubes, blanch the tomatoes, skin them and prepare beautiful tomato concassee (that’s what cooks call the tomato cubes without skin).

You can then prepare the eggs in a concentrated and cosy way with the right and desired consistency, soft, waxy or firmly poached.

The poached egg on the spinach leaves, surrounded by wild herb blossoms, looks splendid. I cut the egg open at the table or just before serving, so that the liquid or waxy yolk becomes visible.

recipe poached egg with fried potatoes

Ingredients

For the poached Eggs

2 pc Chicken eggs
some white vine vinegar

For the fried roast potatoes

4-6 pc Potatoes (small potatoes, these look more beautiful halved)
200 g Vegetable oil (for frying the potatoes)
30 g butter
some Salt
some Pepper
some nutmeg
some majoram (dried or fresh)
some caraway – cumin (seeds)

Plate Decoration and Plate arranging

etwas majoram (fresh, optional oregano)
2 pc tomatoes (Make tomato cubes, see extra article!)

Instruction

Preparation step 1

Beat the fresh eggs in a bowl, boil the water in a wide saucepan and add the vinegar. You really need really fresh eggs, with a full yolk, so that your poached eggs succeed well!

Preparation step 2

Heat vegetable fat for frying in a pot or in the deep fryer. Peel the potatoes, cut them into 3 mm thick slices and fry them immediately for 3-4 minutes at 170°C. Remove the fried potato slices from the hot oil and allow to cool for a few minutes, then fry again until knsuprig light brown. Place the fried potato slices in a pan with foamed hot butter, season with salt, pepper, marjoram, caraway and nutmeg.

Preparation step 3

Blanch the tomatoes in boiling salted water, quench in ice water, peel and prepare tomato cubes without skin. See the reference to the cookery school “Skinning and peeling tomatoes” in the article heading 6.

Preparation step 4

Remove the boiling water with vinegar from the stove. Stir the water once in a clockwise direction, slowly slide the eggs one by one into the hot vinegar water. Now carefully place the egg whites with a wooden spoon around the egg yolks so that the poached eggs get a nice shape. Let the eggs poach soft, waxy or firm for 6-8 minutes according to your taste.

Preparation step 5

Arrange the prepared fried potatoes on warm plates, leaving space in the middle for the poached egg. Using a skimmer, remove the poached eggs from the vinegar water and rinse briefly under warm water. Place the drained poached eggs in the middle of the plate. Decorate with fresh herbs, sprinkle with tomato cubes and serve quickly. I prefer to add the salt and pepper to the dish, cut the egg slightly at the top with a sharp knife so that the egg yolk is visible. I wish you a good appetite!
