Instructions
  1. Wash and peel potatoes and then carefully dry. Slice into French fry shape by cutting the potato lengthwise into ¼ inch slices and then laying each slice flat and cutting into ¼ inch sticks.
  2. In a large frying pan heat enough olive oil over medium heat to just barely cover amount of potatoes you sliced. Once oil is medium hot, carefully add the potatoes and cook about 10 minutes and then flip the potatoes and continue cooking for another 10 minutes. (The goal is to cook the potatoes slowly enough so that the interior cooks through before the outside becomes too golden brown.) Remove onto a paper towel to drain, and immediately sprinkle generously with Kosher salt.
  3. In a small sauté pan, over medium high heat, place enough olive oil to just barely cover the bottom of the pan. Once very hot, carefully crack the egg into the pan without breaking the yolk. Tilt the pan so the excess oil is collected to one side, and then use a spoon to ladle the oil back over top of the egg whites (this will cause the whites to become fluffy and golden brown). Immediately remove from the pan once the whites have cooked, and sprinkle generously with Kosher salt.
  4. Plate the potatoes and eggs together and serve with fresh Italian or French bread.
