Ingredients:

  • 2 potatoes, diced
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste

Method:

Start Cooking
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly golden (about 10–15 minutes).
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and any optional spices.
  • Pour the eggs over the potatoes.
  • Lower the heat, cover with a lid, and cook gently until the eggs reach your preferred texture. Bon appétit.

Kitchen Tools:

Notes:

From the kitchen
  • Adjust your oil amount based on potato size and skillet. Start with 2 tablespoons olive oil, add 1 more if needed.
  • For extra flavor, add a small piece of butter right after the potatoes finish cooking, just before adding the eggs. It gently enhances the aroma.
  • Instead of whisking the eggs, you can crack them directly over the potatoes for a more rustic texture with visible egg whites and yolk pockets.
Two Cooking Methods
  • 1. Light Sauté (Everyday Method)
    Dice the potatoes and cook them in a skillet with 2–3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat until soft. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • 2. Deep Fry (For Crispier Potatoes)
    If you prefer crispy potatoes, fry them in enough oil to lightly cover them. Before adding the eggs, pour off excess oil to keep the dish from feeling too heavy.
 
Make it yours
  • Sauté mushrooms, onion, or garlic with the potatoes.
  • Add crushed red pepper, dried thyme, or black pepper.
  • Sprinkle fresh parsley or dill on top.
  • Add a handful of shredded cheese (feta, mozzarella, or cheddar all work).
 
At the table
  • Serve with fresh bread, olives, and a shepherd salad.
  • Great for weekend family breakfasts or anytime you need a quick, warm meal.
