Use cold potatoes
Potatoes from the previous day are firm, drier and can be sliced without falling apart immediately. Solid-boiled varieties are particularly good.

Tips for Farmer's breakfast with fried potatoes
Fry potatoes with enough space
In a wide pan, the slices form direct contact with the hot bottom. Only after a strong browning turn and do not stir constantly.
Let eggs slow down
After pouring in the egg milk, reduce the heat significantly, so that the breakfast is juicy and does not get a dry, browned egg bottom.
