Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 2 corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • ½ cup grated Russet potato (about 1 small potato)
  • ¼ cup grated Cheddar or Asiago cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Hot sauce (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Optional Substitutions:

  • You can use sweet potatoes instead of Russet potatoes for a sweeter twist.
  • Substitute Vegan cheese to make it dairy-free.
  • For gluten-free options, ensure you use certified gluten-free tortillas.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Tortillas

Warm the tortillas in a skillet, over the flame, or in a toaster. Set them aside on a plate.

Step 2: Cook the Potato

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add two separate piles of grated potatoes to the pan and flatten each to about the size of your tortilla. The more space between the strands, the crispier the result.

Step 3: Add Cheese and Eggs

Sprinkle cheese evenly over each potato pile. Make a small indent in the center and crack an egg into each one. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Cook and Serve

Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are set and the cheese and potatoes are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Slide each pile onto a tortilla, add a squeeze of lime, and enjoy with hot sauce or your favorite toppings.

Equipment

Notes

  1. Use a Well-Seasoned Skillet: This will prevent sticking and ensure your potatoes cook evenly.
  2. Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Spread the potatoes thinly to achieve maximum crispiness.
  3. Cover the Pan: Covering the skillet helps the eggs cook more evenly without burning the potatoes.
  4. Cheese Options: Try a blend of cheddar and mozzarella for a melty and flavorful finish.
