Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 medium potatoes, scrubbed
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt
Scrambled Eggs
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Use a fork to pierce the potato skins. Microwave the potatoes on high for 7 to 8 minutes until tender. Let them cool briefly, then peel and cut into small cubes.
- Cook Spiced Potatoes: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder (if using), and ½ teaspoon salt. Add the cubed potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy and golden brown, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: While the potatoes are cooking, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in another skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are fully set and cooked through, approximately 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Plate the crispy spiced potatoes alongside the scrambled eggs and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- You can adjust the chili powder amount or omit it altogether for milder potatoes.
- Microwaving potatoes is a quick method, but you can also boil or bake them if preferred.
- Use a non-stick skillet for easier cooking and cleaning.
- For added flavor, garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley if desired.
