Spanish Huevos Rancheros Recipe

Instructions

Step 1

You can start by washing the potatoes. Then dry them well. This washing and drying are of great importance as we will process the potatoes without peeling them.

To chop them, start by cutting them in half down the middle.

After getting 4 equal parts, get a quarter. You can chop it later. Obtain 9 pieces from each quarter.

Then they are ready for you to put into a large, deep salad bowl.

Step 2

Drizzle olive oil over the chopped potatoes.

Add salt and black pepper.

You can mix it up by shaking it so that everything mixes.

Now preheat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius.

Meanwhile, place the potatoes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Then you can start roasting in the preheated oven.

Step 3

While the potatoes are in the oven, you can start preparing your other ingredients.

Mince the garlic.

Then chop the onions. Try to chop them as finely as possible.

Put them aside. Meanwhile, preheat a pan.

Put 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the pan, add the onions and then the garlic and fry over medium heat.

Mix frequently so that garlic does not burn.

You can add paprika when its color starts to turn golden.

If you like spicy, you can also add hot paprika. And mix it all while the heat is still on.

Step 4

Add the tomatoes to continue cooking. If there is another seasoning you like, you can add it at this stage.

Add salt and pepper and mix.

After making sure that each ingredient is completely in contact with the other, you can lower the flame.

When the mixture boils, the baking time for your potatoes should be complete.

Step 5

Add the potatoes that you just removed from the oven to the boiling mixture and continue to mix gently until the sauce covers all the potatoes.

Now we will add the eggs to this delicious mixture, but this addition will be a little different from what we normally do, so this part is very important:

Bring 3 eggs in 3 small bowls. Break each egg into a separate bowl and do not whisk. The yolks and whites of the eggs should remain untouched in the bowls as they come out of the shells.

Step 6

Now, while the potato mixture continues to cook, transfer these eggs to 3 parts of the pan that are far from each other.

Cover the lid and continue cooking until the eggs are cooked. Let it cook like this for another 5 minutes. Remove the cooked Huevos Rancheros from the heat.

Step 7

Now we’re going to garnish it. Get your cutting board for this. Start chopping fresh chives. Sprinkle them.

You can also add scallions or parsley instead of chives. You can even mix and add all three if you wish. When we added the eggs to the bowls, we couldn’t salt yet.

This is exactly the stage where we need to salt them. So after the garnish or before the garnish… It doesn’t matter, but don’t forget to add sea salt and pepper to the eggs.
