INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and shredded
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 4 eggs, beaten

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Heat oil in a 12 inch skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the potatoes, and fry until crispy and golden, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and add onions. Cook, stirring, until softened. Season with salt and pepper. Pour eggs over the potatoes and onions.
  3. Place the skillet in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until eggs are firm. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Return to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

This was great. The only changes I made were to add some diced ham before adding the eggs and I used diced potatoes rather than shredded. This is a great basic recipe that would be fun to play around with!

I used the Ore Ida frozen hash browns - the cubed kind - and it came out great. It was a big time and mess saver as well. I added an extra egg and mixed in some monteray jack cheese with the cheddar, and it was deliccious.

Very good! The potatoes are much better if you use leftover baked from the night before. Also, try beating the egg yolks and whites separately (beating the whites until they form soft peaks)...then mix the two together until combined. The eggs get really fluffy that way (a trick I learned from a chef I used to work with at a fine restaurant). Good luck!
