DIRECTIONS
Poke potatoes with a fork so that their skins are pierced. Microwave potatoes on high until cooked inside. When potatoes are fully cooked, peel potatoes and cut potatoes to 1/8 size or to your liking. Set potatoes aside.
Add 2 tablespoons oil to skillet and scramble 3 eggs. Add salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until potatoes are ready.
In another skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil until hot. Then add salt, cumin, coriander and turmeric powder. Put in chili powder if you want it really spicy. Add potatoes and cook until potatoes are crispy and brown. Spicy potatoes and scrambled eggs are now ready to serve!

Really great recipe! You definitely should microwave the potatoes before sauteeing them. I tried it previously without prior nuking, but then it took an hour before they were cooked. I fried them with an onion and 2 cloves of garlic in addition to the spices. Also, I added paprika and cayenne pepper. When the potatoes were just about done, I scrambled the eggs (with black pepper; without salt or oil) and added them to the potato mixture. Tastes great!

believe it or not-even my 5 year old liked these potatoes! they didn't taste as spicy as i had thought but were very good. i also skipped the nuking of the potato and fried them up from the raw stage in the skillet. deee-licious! will definately make again! the eggs could use the addition of some of your favorite cheese! bon appetit!

Made this for my husband and I the other morning and turned out great. He really loved the potatoes, and I thought that the eggs were great with the olive oil. We put lots of chili powder and seasoning salt on our potatoes. And we adorned our eggs with some homemade salsa. Was a great way to start our day. Thanks for the recipe.

Really good and flavorful...this is a nice change from regular scrambled eggs. I pan-fried the potatoes, added tomatoes, and doubled the spices for delicious scrambled eggs!

I used olive oil to saute minced onion, garlic and peppers. I did microwave the potatoes until tender, then peeled, diced and added to pan. I used the cheesy herbed egg recipe to give additional flavor to the eggs. I then placed mixture in pitas and served with fruit. Good, but will cut back on spices some for the kids thought it was too spicy.

I'm going to disagree with BandE on this one, definitely best if you start with raw potatoes... but make sure to COVER the pan if you go this route to help cook faster. If you want it spicier add Red Pepper (Cayenne), chili powder isn't necessarily that spicy. You can probably reduce the amount of oil you use by adding a bit of water at the start to help cook the potatoes.

Pretty decent. Not spicy, just warm. I will make these again except not microwave the potatoes as they could have used the flavor from cooking on the stovetop. All the flavor was on the outside of these since they were already cooked. I scrambled the eggs in with the cooked browned potatoes and served these with fresh flour tortillas and picante sauce. DH thinks these need sausage or chorizo too, (but that's a man for ya, gotta have the meat). Thanks Anju, I enjoyed this.
