For 3 serving

Ingredients

4 large potatoes
4 eggs
120 g ham
1–2 spring onions
2 tablespoons plain flour
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil for frying

Preparation procedure

Preparation of the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and coarsely grate them, ideally using a peeler. Place the grated potatoes into cold water and let them stand for a few minutes to wash out the starch.
Basic mixture: Meanwhile, chop the ham and spring onion. Separate the eggs into yolks and whites. Set the yolks aside in a bowl and coat them with a little oil so they don't dry out.
Draining and mixing: Drain the potatoes, squeeze out the excess water thoroughly and mix with the chopped ham, onion, egg whites (2–3 are enough as needed), flour, salt and pepper.
Frying: Heat oil in a pan. Form patties from the potato mixture and make a hole in the center of each. Fry briefly on one side.
Adding the yolk: Place the prepared yolk in the center and either: cover and bake only from the bottom if you want a runny yolk, or flip and fry on the other side if you prefer a firmer consistency.
