Start by preparing the ingredients for silpancho.

Measure 1.5 cups of rice and set aside.

Peel and cut 4 potatoes, one for each person.

Chop 1 onion into small cubes.

Chop 3 tomatoes into small cubes.

Season the meat with pepper, cumin, and salt to taste.

Heat oil in a pan and add the potatoes to fry until golden brown.

In a pot, add the rice and stir until it changes color slightly.

Add 3 cups of water to the rice and a pinch of salt, then cover and cook.

While the rice is cooking, prepare the salad by chopping the onion and soaking it in water to reduce its spiciness.

Once the potatoes are golden, remove them from the oil and set aside.

In a bowl, mix the ground beef with 1 egg, pepper, cumin, and salt, then form large meatballs.

Flatten the meatballs using a flat object or your hands to form patties.

Heat oil in a pan and fry the meat patties until they are golden brown on both sides.

Fry the eggs in the same oil until cooked to your liking.

Serve the silpancho with the fried potatoes, salad, and fried eggs on top.
