Boil the potatoes the day before until they are cooked through but still firm when pierced with a knife (a little undercooked is fine). Drain and set the unpeeled potatoes aside to cool and rest until ready to use.

The following day, peel the potatoes and cut into thin slices (about 5mm).

Heat a large skillet or tabletop glass-ceramic grill over medium-high heat (for the LeMax, preheat at level 9 for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 8).

Lightly grease the surface with clarified butter (about 1 teaspoon, or more).

Add the onions and fry until they start to soften. Add the mushrooms and potatoes. Increase heat slightly, and fry until golden-brown, adding a little more ghee, if desired. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Add the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes longer.

Remove potato mixture from pan/grill; keep warm. Reduce the heat slightly, add a little more ghee, and then add the eggs to pan/grill; cook until whites are just set around edges. Serve immediately with the fried potatoes.
