I think I saw Gordon Ramsay say a proper fried egg should have solid white, runny yolk and crispy edge. I've never been served that or been able to make it.
Cook for a couple of minutes, don't flip it, put a lid on the pan for a minute or so.
Perhaps if you add butter as your frying the egg and then spoon butter over the whites.
I dunno, I just flip them briefly. You don't get that nice sunnyside up look, but at least the whites are frim and the yolk is runny enough.
That's what I do (except I use the leftover fat from the bacon). Edit: I mean the butter thing. I only do over easy if I didn't make bacon to fry them in.
