Crashed Fried Eggs and Potatoes

Crashed Fried Eggs and Potatoes

Huevos Estrellados is a popular egg dish that originated and is served at the world-renowned Casa Lucio restaurant in Old Madrid. Owner Lucio Blázquez, a charming and generous man, shared his recipe for this dish. Huevos Estrellados is a creative twist on two beloved Spanish dishes: fried eggs and fried potatoes. Lucio cuts up the egg after it's cooked and blends it with the potatoes, giving this traditional dish a new and exciting spin. Typically, Huevos Estrellados is the first dish served for dinner since it's a favorite among Spaniards, including the Spanish King.
