Cheesy Egg Sandwich with Crispy Potato
Ingredients
- 1 large Yukon gold potato
- ¼ cup sunflower oil
- 4 whole eggs
- 4 soft dinner rolls
- 2 Tbsp butter, (softened)
- 4 slices yellow American cheese
- Salt & freshly-ground black pepper, (to taste)
- Ketchup, (for serving)
Instructions
- Cook whole Yukon gold potato in boiling salted water for 30 minutes or until completely tender.
- Allow potato to cool at room temperature for 45 minutes.
- Once potato has cooled, slice into 3/8” thick rounds.
- Fry both sides of the potato rounds on high heat in sunflower oil.
- Remove potatoes from heat, and salt the exterior.
- Drain potatoes on paper towels.
- Cut dinner rolls in half, and butter each side lightly.
- Toast the rolls in the oven at 375F for 5 minutes, or until the butter has melted and the rolls are warm and gently toasted.
- Cook eggs sunny-side up and season with salt & freshly-ground black pepper. As the eggs are cooking, push the whites toward the yolk to create a smaller cooked egg shape.
- Assemble sandwiches open-face on a sheet tray with a layer of potato, topped with an egg, topped with the cheese and place back in oven at 375 for an additional 3 minutes.
- Serve sandwiches hot with ketchup.
Notes
The potatoes are best eaten right after they are cooked and drained.
