My favorite easy potato recipe -
2 potatoes, cut into 1/2" cubes
3 eggs
3 slices bacon, chopped
1/4c cheddar cheese
Season potatoes with cajun seasoning, then brown with just a bit of oil in a nonstick pan on medium-high heat. Or, alternatively, fry the bacon first, remove from the pan, then cook the potatoes in the bacon grease (soooo good.)
When potatoes are fully browned (or almost fully browned, if using the raw bacon) add chopped bacon, stirring occasionally.
Whip the eggs in a small bowl, and add to the mix. Stir continuously with a rubber spatula
When eggs are just a few seconds from being done, stir in the cheese. Serve immediately
Garnish with salsa if desired.
Great, filling meal for a really decent price. I lived off eggs and potatoes for 6 months in college, when I only had maybe $25 a week for groceries. You learn how to make it taste good.
