Ingredients
3 eggs
Salt, dried garlic, and black pepper (to taste)
1 tablespoon sour cream
Chives, finely chopped
1 large potato, peeled and grated
Salami or other fatty sausage (optional)
Oil for greasing the pan (if not using sausage)
Instructions
-
Peel and grate the potato; set aside.
-
If not using sausage, heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
-
If using salami or fatty sausage, chop into small pieces and cook for 2–3 minutes until fat is released.
-
Add grated potato to the pan and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly crispy.
-
In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt, dried garlic, black pepper, and sour cream.
-
Push cooked potatoes to one side of the pan. Pour the egg mixture into the other side.
-
Let the eggs set for 1–2 minutes, then gently stir to scramble, mixing into the potatoes.
-
Add chopped chives and stir until eggs are just cooked through.
-
Serve hot straight from the pan.
Notes
Greek yogurt or crème fraîche can be used instead of sour cream.
Add shredded cheese, spinach, or kale for extra variety.
Use smoked paprika or chili flakes for a flavor kick.
Chives can be swapped with green onions or parsley.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water or milk.
