POTATOES AND EGGS

This time you don’t have to choose one, because we are gonna be using BOTH. This dish can serve as a good breakfast/lunch/dinner or even a snack if you insist. Essential ingredients are any type of cooking oil, salt, and of course what can we do without potatoes and eggs. Almost any other ingredient can fit this dish, depending on your taste. To start, wash your potatoes, peel them, cut them to your size/shape preference (I prefer making them the shape of French fries) and put them in a bowl with water in order to keep them fresh while you pour oil in your pan just about to where it covers floor of the pan, and what for the oil to heat up. Once the oil is hot, place your potatoes in the pan and wait until they become lightly more brown, which should take around 5-7 minutes. If you like cheese, you can drop a handful of grated cheese into the pan and mix it around. Some might be wondering, “but aren’t everyone’s hands sized differently? A handful of cheese is a different amount for everyone…” Not necessarily, because generally, the bigger your hands are the bigger you are, which means the more food you would want. Anyways, Whenever your potatoes turn light yellowish brown, wash your eggs, crack them, pour them into the pan and mix them with the potatoes to even out the amount of eggs and potatoes everywhere. The eggs should be ready very soon: 1 minute or so. That’s the reason we put the eggs in when the potatoes are almost ready. I love to add some black pepper, not too little to the point when you can’t see it, but not too much to the point when a whole quarter of the surface area is black. Now, freedom and experimentation are in your hands. You can eat it straight off the pan or you can add some vegetables. You can make a toast on the side and choose a drink of your choice. You can even drizzle it with honey if you really feel like it. So don’t be shy, experiment.

This dish holds a special place in my heart because my dad always made it when I was a kid and it was my favorite food. He still makes it whenever he wants something fast, easy, and delicious. This is a very popular dish and that is exactly what it’s known for: fast, easy, delicious. What I love most about this food though, is the unlimited possibilities of making it your own and adding things, experimenting with flavors. So enjoy the food, and stay cooky!
