Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium Potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
  • 2 tablespoons Oil (olive oil or vegetable oil)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1 splash Milk (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 cup Cheese (shredded cheddar or alternative)

Instructions

  1. Begin by washing and peeling the potatoes. Dice them into small cubes, about half an inch in size. This ensures they cook evenly and become crispy. Set them aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, about 2 minutes. Once the oil shimmers, add the diced potatoes. Stir them occasionally and cook for about 10-12 minutes until they are golden and crispy.
  3. Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder (if using), salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Stir well to coat the potatoes evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spices become fragrant and the potatoes are cooked through.
  4. In a bowl, crack the eggs and add a splash of milk if desired. Whisk until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the potatoes.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and gently scramble the eggs with the potatoes. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still slightly soft.
  6. Add the butter and cheese to the skillet, stirring until melted and well combined. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Once everything is cooked to perfection, remove the skillet from heat. Prepare your tortillas by warming them in a separate dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
  8. Spoon the potato, egg, and cheese mixture onto each tortilla. Fold them over, and they’re ready to serve!

Nutrition

Keywords: For perfectly crispy potatoes, avoid stirring too often. Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or a high-quality non-stick pan for easier cleanup. Consider using more cheese for a creamier filling, and avoid overcooking the eggs for the best texture.
