Instructions:

Prepare the chips: Peel and slice the potatoes into chip shapes. Rinse them in water, dry them with a towel, and season with salt. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and add the chips. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, usually around 10-15 minutes. Drain on paper towels. 🍟

-
Fry the eggs: In the same pan that you cooked the gammon, crack the eggs and fry them sunny side up or to your liking. Season them with salt and pepper. 🍳
-
Heat the spaghetti hoops: Open the can of spaghetti hoops and heat them in a small pot over low heat until warmed through. 🍝
-
Combine everything: Once the gammon is cooked, the eggs are fried, and the chips are crispy, it’s time to plate up!
