4 servings
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ lb yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced ⅛-inch thick
- 1 medium yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 tsp fine sea salt, divided
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until it shimmers. Add the potato slices and onion, season with ½ tsp of the salt, and stir gently to coat. Cook, turning the potatoes occasionally with a slotted spoon, until the potatoes are completely tender and yield easily when pressed with the back of a spoon, about 20–25 minutes. They should be soft but not browned.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the potatoes and onion to a large mixing bowl, leaving as much oil behind in the skillet as possible. Reserve 2 tbsp of the cooking oil in the skillet and discard the rest (or save for another use).
