Potato Chip Eggs Recipes

POTATO CHIP SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs and cream in a large bowl until combined and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Add the onion and cook until the onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the chorizo and cook until the fat is rendered and the chorizo is slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the potato chips and toss to coat with the onions and chorizo. Add the egg mixture and cook slowly over low heat, stirring constantly, until most of the liquid has thickened and the eggs are soft, about 10 minutes. (If you like your eggs a little firmer, cook them for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.)
• Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat, divide onto four plates and garnish with the parsley. Season with the salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.

FERRAN ADRIà'S POTATO CHIP OMELET

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk vigorously until frothy and lightened in color, about 4 minutes. (If you have a balloon whisk, now is the time to use it: It will aerate better than a standard whisk, and should take half the time and effort. Either way, your arm will burn by the end of this, but a fluffy, puffy omelet will be your reward.)
• Add 1 tablespoon oil to a 10-inch nonstick skillet and heat over medium.
• Add the chips to the eggs. Using a plastic spatula, gently fold a few times to ensure chips are coated. Let the chips soak for 1 minute.
• Pour the mixture into the skillet, using the spatula to spread the potatoes into an even layer, then to loosen the omelet from the sides of the pan.
• After the bottom of the omelet is just about set - it should barely take on color but the top isn't completely set - 3 to 4 minutes, cover the omelet with an upside-down plate or a large, flat lid. Holding one hand flat against the plate and holding the skillet by its handle, gently flip over the omelet to release it onto the plate.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, then carefully slide the omelet from the plate, uncooked-side-down, into the pan and cook for about 2 minutes. Slide the omelet onto a plate, slice and serve immediately.

EGG AND POTATO CHIP TORTILLA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and position an oven rack 8 inches from the heat.
• In a medium bowl, beat the eggs.
• Transfer half of the eggs to another bowl, stir in the crushed potato chips and let stand until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining beaten eggs, serrano ham and piquillo peppers and season with pepper.
• In a small nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat the extra-virgin olive oil. Add the egg mixture and cook over moderately high heat until the bottom is set and golden, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer the skillet to the broiler and broil for about 2 minutes, or until the top of the tortilla is golden and the center is slightly jiggly.
• Slide the tortilla onto a plate, quarter and serve.

EGGS ON POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat butter in a sturdy, well-seasoned medium frying pan, preferably cast iron, over medium heat.
• Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and just beginning to brown.
• Stir in garlic paste, ginger, and chiles.
• Stir for a moment or two, then add cilantro.
• Crumble in chips, tossing or stirring the contents of the pan to combine them thoroughly.
• Make 4 ?nests? in the surface of the potato-chip mixture-they don't need to be perfect hollows-and crack an egg into each.
• Pour 1 tablespoons water down the inside edge of the pan to generate some steam.
• Cover skillet tightly and reduce heat to low.
• Let eggs steam just long enough to set whites (6 to 8 minutes; gently touch one with a spoon to see if it's done the way you'd like).
• Season to taste with salt and turn out onto waiting plates.

POTATO CHIP EGGS

Steps:

• melt butter and oil in large fry pan (for which you own a snug lid).
• Chop onion and garlic in food processor to fine pieces.
• Add to oil/butter and cook, stirring, until onion is soft.
• Crumble a bunch of potato chips into the onions (recipe called for four large handfuls), stir to mix.
• Hollow out four depressions, crack one egg into each.
• Add water, cover and cook until eggs are done.
• Note: I used 'hand crafted' type chips, it was a little tough to separate the servings but tasty. Next time I'll try conventional chips.
• Could add some hot chiles to spice it up.
