Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes, cut them into sticks or thin fries and fry them in oil heated to about 170 °C, until golden and crisp.
  2. Thinly slice the onions and fry them in a pan with a little butter over medium heat for 10 minutes.
  3. In another very hot pan, brown the minced beef, crumbling it, until well seared, about 5 minutes.
  4. Season the meat with salt, pepper and paprika, then mix it with the fried onions.
  5. Arrange the meat and onions on plates with the fries alongside.
  6. Place a raw egg yolk in the centre of each portion and serve straight away, so diners can mix everything together at the table.

Variations and tips

Vegetarian version. Replace the beef with cooked, seasoned green lentils, but keep the onions and fries.
