Eggs On Potato Chips
- 1 tablespoon clarified butter (also known as ghee or a mixture of 1/2 T vegetable oil and 1/2 T butter)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 small garlic clove, minced and then mashed into a paste with 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon finely shredded fresh ginger
- 2 -3 2 -3 Thai chiles or 2 -3 serrano chilies, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 cups potato chips (from a just-opened bag - 4 handsful)
- 4 eggs
- kosher salt or sea salt
- 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.
