Ingredients

Scale

For the Scrambled Eggs:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the Grated Potato:

  • 1 medium russet potato (peeled and grated)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Grated Potato: Place the grated potato in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  2. Cook the Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the grated potato and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes until golden and crispy, stirring occasionally.
  3. Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk or cream and a pinch of salt.

  5. Combine and Serve: Just before the eggs are fully set, stir in the cooked grated potatoes and chives. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can add shredded cheese or sautéed onions for extra flavor.
  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a slightly creamier texture.
