Ingredients

• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.5 medium Yellow onion
• 0.5 medium Green bell pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Scrub and peel the russet potatoes. Dice them into small, bite-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch).

Step 2

Finely dice the yellow onion and green bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and the smoked paprika. Stir to coat the potatoes in the seasoning.

Step 5

Cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. If needed, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

While the potatoes are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk them well.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are cooked, push them to one side of the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the other side of the skillet.

Step 8

Pour the whisked eggs into the space with the melted butter. Let them sit for about 30 seconds, then gently fold and scramble the eggs until they are just set and creamy.

Step 9

Mix the scrambled eggs with the potatoes, combining everything together.

Step 10

Optional: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture and let it melt for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Transfer the Eggs Taters to plates, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
