Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped green onions, hot sauce
Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Push the potatoes and vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the butter to the other side. Once the butter is melted, pour in the egg mixture and scramble until set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine: Mix the scrambled eggs with the potatoes and vegetables. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Serve: Plate the Scrambled Eggs and Potatoes and top with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables and herbs for the best flavor.
- Adjust the Seasoning: Taste the dish as it cooks and adjust the seasoning as needed. You might want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to suit your taste.
- Cook the Potatoes Separately: If you prefer your potatoes extra crispy, consider cooking them separately in the oven before adding them to the skillet.
- Add Some Greens: For a healthier twist, add some spinach or kale to the skillet and cook until wilted.
