Let the potatoes cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom layer starts to turn golden brown and crisp. Avoid moving the potatoes during this time to ensure they form a solid layer.
5. Flip the Potato Layer
Using a large spatula, carefully flip the entire potato layer. If flipping seems tricky, you can invert the potatoes onto a plate, then slide them back into the pan, cooked side up. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the second side is golden and crispy as well.
6. Add the Egg
Once the potatoes are crispy, create a small well in the center of the potato layer using your spatula. Crack the egg into this well, allowing it to sit in the middle of the skillet.
7. Cook the Egg
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny. If you prefer a fully cooked yolk, cook for an additional minute or two.
8. Season and Serve
