Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 3 medium Potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg (for coating)
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Place 4 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 6 minutes for soft-set yolks. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook for 8 minutes.

Step 2

Once the eggs are done, transfer them to an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes. Carefully peel the eggs and set them aside.

Step 3

Peel and grate 3 medium potatoes using the large holes of a grater. Squeeze the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder. Mix well.

Step 5

Divide the potato mixture into 4 equal portions. Flatten each portion in your palm to form a disc. Gently place a peeled egg in the center and wrap the potato mixture around it, ensuring the egg is completely covered.

Step 6

Place 0.5 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 beaten egg, and 1 cup of breadcrumbs in three separate shallow bowls for dredging.

Step 7

Roll each potato-covered egg in the flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Repeat this process for all 4 eggs.

Step 8

In a deep frying pan or pot, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Step 9

Carefully lower the potato-coated eggs into the hot oil, one or two at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for 3-4 minutes, turning gently, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the fried eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the Hidden Eggs warm as they are, or with your favorite dipping sauce or side salad for a complete meal!
