Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in salted water for about 10-12 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Infuse the Oil

    In a large pan, heat the oil or butter over medium heat. Add the star anise and cardamom pods, cooking for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook the Potatoes

    Add the boiled potatoes to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes, allowing them to absorb the flavors of the spices. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Add the Eggs

    Crack the eggs into the pan over the sautéed potatoes. Cook undisturbed for 3-5 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny, or to your preference.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Carefully plate the dish, ensuring each serving has a portion of potatoes and an egg. Enjoy warm!
