Cooking Steps

1

• Wash and dry produce. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Place in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Season with salt; toss to combine. Microwave until fork-tender, 6-8 minutes. Set aside.

2

• Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

3

• In a second medium bowl, whisk together eggs*, cream cheese, and ¼ tsp salt (½ tsp for 4 servings) until well combined. (It’s OK if bits of cream cheese are still visible; they will melt when cooked!)

4

• Once potatoes are fork-tender, heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add potatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Add 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) to pan, then stir until melted. Pour in egg mixture; cook, stirring, until eggs are scrambled and cooked to preference, 1-2 minutes.

5

• Pour green salsa over eggs and potatoes and stir to combine. Simmer until warmed through and salsa is slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.

6

• Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels. Microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.

7

• Divide tortillas between plates and fill with salsa verde eggs and potatoes; top with Mexican cheese blend and tomato. Serve.

Wash hands and surfaces after handling raw eggs. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.

Love the combination with the eggs and the potatoes. The salsa kept it from being dry. We would definitely do this one again. Fun having breakfast for dinner!

The recipe calls for all the salsa verde to be added with eggs and potatoes near the end. It would be better added as necessary at the end.

Really enjoyed these. The salsa verde was particularly good. Would have liked slightly fewer potatoes and more eggs though.

Love this. Always wanted to learn how to make home fries! The eggs go well with the salsa verde.

Can't wait to see this one come around again. I feel like I mess up eggs all the time lately. I followed this recipe and it came out perfectly! I didn't know how I'd feel about pouring sauce into my eggs either, but wow! Very good recipe.

Used about 1/3 salsa in eggs with small amount as garnish. Consider very lightly tossing potatoes in oil to prevent sticking during microwaving.

Tasty, easy recipe for breakfast or any other meal of the day. I would recommend cooking the potatoes in the microwave longer or use plastic wrap to speed up the steaming. I used a high powered microwave and dice very small yet potatoes were still very crunchy and firm. No other changes recommended.

Potato-egg ratio off even after adding an additional egg. Too much potato. Salsa verde overpowered dish. Couldn't taste anything but sauce. Sausage would have enhanced flavor. Making as a burrito might have been better.
