Best Huevos Rotos in Madrid

Huevos rotos are fried eggs broken over fried potatoes, usually finished with jamón, chistorra, or another salty topping. Order **"huevos rotos con jamón"** *(broken eggs with ham)* and ask whether the yolks are **"poco hechos"** *(runny)* if that matters to you. Expect 12-24€ per shared plate in central taverns, often enough for two as a tapa before a larger meal. The trap is a plate where the potatoes were fried hours earlier; the dish works only when potatoes and eggs are hot.
