Best Creamy Scrambled Eggs With Crispy Potatoes Recipes

EXTRA-CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together starch with 1 1/2 tablespoons water until no lumps remain. Add half the butter cubes to starch mixture. Add eggs and salt, and whisk, breaking up any cubes of butter that have stuck together, until the eggs are frothy and homogenous. (There will still be solid chunks of butter in the eggs.)
• Set your serving plate near the stovetop. Heat 1 tablespoon water in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, swirling gently until the water evaporates, leaving behind only a few small droplets. Immediately add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and swirl vigorously until the butter is mostly melted and foamy but not brown, about 10 seconds.
• Immediately add the egg mixture and cook, pushing and folding the eggs with a spatula, until they are slightly less cooked than you'd like them, about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on doneness. More vigorous stirring will result in finer, softer curds, while more leisurely stirring will result in larger, fluffier curds. Immediately transfer to the serving plate, and serve.

SLOW-SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH POTATOES, MUSHROOMS, AND BACON

Steps:

• Put the potato dice in a small pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until cooked through but still firm, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool. In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove it with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Add the potatoes to the leftover bacon fat, and cook over medium heat until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 7 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook until mushrooms are tender and lightly brown. Drain any excess fat from the pan and set it aside while you cook the eggs.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs and cream. Pour the eggs into the pan and stir with a wooden spoon or plastic spatula until they just begin to thicken, about 10 minutes.
• At this point, lower the heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, season with salt and pepper, and continue to stir. Don't cheat-in order to make the eggs as creamy as possible, it's important to stir gently and continuously, and take your time. When the eggs begin to thicken, after about 5 minutes, remove the pot from the heat.
• Warm the brioche or toast the bread lightly. Set the potato-mushroom mixture over medium heat, add the bacon, and warm thoroughly. Return the eggs to low heat and cook until they will just barely hold together and resemble a thick, creamy sauce, then spoon them over the brioche or toast. Spoon the potato mixture over or around the eggs and sprinkle with chives.

SPICY POTATOES AND SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Poke potatoes with a fork so that their skins are pierced. Microwave potatoes on high until cooked inside. When potatoes are fully cooked, peel potatoes and cut potatoes to 1/8 size or to your liking. Set potatoes aside.
• Add 2 tablespoons oil to skillet and scramble 3 eggs. Add salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until potatoes are ready.
• In another skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil until hot. Then add salt, cumin, coriander and turmeric powder. Put in chili powder if you want it really spicy. Add potatoes and cook until potatoes are crispy and brown. Spicy potatoes and scrambled eggs are now ready to serve!

CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CRISPY POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large skillet heat the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it fry the potato, rinsed, drained, and patted dry, stirring, for 6 minutes, or until it is crisp and golden. Transfer the potato with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and sprinkle with salt to taste.
• In a bowl whisk together the eggs and the cream. In a skillet melt the butter over moderately low heat and in it cook the eggs, stirring, until they are barely set. Stir in the potatoes, cook the mixture, stirring, until the eggs are set, and add the salt and pepper to taste. Divide the egg mixture between 2 heated plates and serve it with toast.
