How to Make Irish Eggs

  1. In a large bowl, mash 2 cups cooked potatoes until smooth.
  2. Add 4 large beaten eggs, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, and ½ cup breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Divide the potato mixture into 6 equal portions.
  4. Gently press one whole egg into the center of each portion, ensuring the egg is completely covered by the potato mixture.
  5. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Carefully place the egg patties into the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the eggs are cooked through.
  7. Remove the patties from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy! They're fantastic with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
