Method

  1. 1

    Peel the potatoes and dice them into small cubes.

  2. 2

    Heat butter and olive oil in a pan and add the potatoes.

  3. 3

    Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden.

  4. 4

    Whisk the eggs with salt and spices in a bowl.

  5. 5

    Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the fried potatoes.

  6. 6

    Cook on low heat with the lid closed until the eggs reach your desired consistency.

Note. If you soak the diced potatoes in water to remove starch and dry them well, they will fry much crisper.

Questions

Should the potatoes be boiled beforehand?

No, since they are diced into small cubes, they can cook directly in the pan with butter.

Which spices go well with it?

Besides black pepper and red pepper flakes, thyme or paprika also pair wonderfully.
