I don't usually have a fry now, but when I did and when I cook one for family, I spoon the oil in the frying pan over the egg until white and yolk set. I always liked to be able to squish whatever kind of bread was on the plate into the runny yolk. That would be potato bread, soda bread, wheaten bread or all of the above. Yum. When my late husband had a fried egg, he would eat all the white around the yolk and when left with just the yolk he would pop that into his mouth in one go and swallow it. HIs mother used the flip it over method of frying eggs, not always with success.
