Season with salt and pepper and add a lid to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes. The lid will trap moisture and steam the potatoes. 3. Remove the lid and stir mixture.

Reduce heat to keep warm while you cook your eggs. 4. In a separate pan, cook two eggs under medium as seen in the video. The goal is to achieve a crisp under crust with caramelization at the edges and yolk cooked half-way through from the underside. 5.
