Ingredients

  • 6 ounces red potatoes, rinsed and scrubbed and diced. (Pam said four small red potatoes. I would dice up just enough to cover the bottom of the skillet in a single layer.)
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 large eggs, beaten (I'd probably add another for good measure)
  • Dash of milk
  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup grated cheese (I used Gruyère)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped herbs (I used fresh thyme) OR a pinch of dried herbs

Instructions

  • Combine the potatoes, water, oil and salt in a 10-inch skillet. The author suggested a non-stick skillet but in my opinion there’s nothing a well-seasoned cast iron skillet can’t do.
  • Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for about five minutes, until the water has evaporated and the potatoes start to sauté.
  • Uncover the potatoes and loosen them from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon until lightly browned, about five minutes later. If you’re using dried spices or herbs, add them now.
  • In a bowl, scramble the eggs with a dash of milk. Pour the eggs into the skillet, toss in the scallions and scramble until the eggs are just set. Remove the skillet from heat.
  • Sprinkle with grated cheese and fresh herbs (optional). Give it a minute to let the cheese melt, then dig in!
