Ingredients

• 2 medium Idaho potatoes
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 6 bacon strips
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 0.25 cup chopped green onions

Directions

Step 1

Peel and grate the Idaho potatoes using the large holes of a box grater. Rinse the grated potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the grated potatoes in an even layer, pressing them down with a spatula. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels. Once cool, break the bacon into pieces.

Step 4

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and gently scramble until just set. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.

Step 6

To assemble each breakfast burrito, place a portion of the crispy hash browns in the center of a tortilla. Top with scrambled eggs, bacon pieces, shredded cheddar cheese, a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll it up tightly to form a burrito.

Step 8

Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for an on-the-go breakfast!
