Three-Ingredient Egg and Potato Breakfast is an easy, budget-friendly meal that’s crispy, satisfying, and ready in about 20 minutes. This recipe serves 2.
Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes, grated
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Grate the potatoes and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel.
- Heat a lightly greased nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Spread the grated potatoes evenly in the skillet and cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping once, until golden and nearly tender.
- Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the potatoes.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Cover the skillet and cook for 4–6 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted.
- Slice into wedges and serve immediately.
Optional Add-Ins
If you don’t mind using more than three ingredients, try adding:
- Chopped green onions
- Diced bell peppers
- Cooked bacon or ham
- Black pepper or paprika
- Fresh parsley
Tips
- Wringing out the grated potatoes helps them become crisp instead of steaming.
- For a crispier bottom, cook the potatoes undisturbed until well browned before adding the eggs.
- Serve with fresh fruit, avocado, salsa, or hot sauce for a complete breakfast.
