How to prepare Double Egg and Chips
Ingredients:
- 🥚 2 eggs
- 🥔 Potatoes (for chips)
- 🍞 Bread
- 🧈 Butter
- 🧂 Salt
- 🧂 Pepper
- 🌻 Oil (for frying)
Instructions:
- Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into chip shapes. Rinse the chips under cold water and pat them dry with a towel.
- Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chips to the pan and cook until they are golden brown and crispy, about 15-20 minutes. Turn them occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.
- While the chips are cooking, crack the eggs into a separate non-stick frying pan and cook them sunny-side up or to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toast the bread in a toaster or on the side in the pan with a little butter until golden brown.
- Once everything is cooked, assemble your dish by placing the chips on a plate, topping them with the eggs, and serving with the toast on the side.

How to store Double Egg and Chips
If you have leftovers, store the chips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the eggs separate and consume them fresh, as they don’t store well. Reheat the chips in an oven or air fryer to regain their crispiness.
Tips for preparing Double Egg and Chips

Variations
- You can spice up your Double Egg and Chips by adding cheese on top of the eggs or seasoning the chips with herbs and spices like paprika or garlic powder.
