POTATO EGGS • Peel 2 medium potatoes, chop • Fry in corn oil, medium heat, then add salt (kosher salt or sea salt) and pepper. • Cook until crisp but tender, then remove, drain and add more salt and pepper to taste. They should taste a bit like French fries. • Butter pan at medium-high, then reduce to medium, add 3 scrambled eggs (with milk), then potatoes. Cook slow (turn off heat before it overcooks). VEGGIE EGGS • Dice corn tortillas • Dice tomato, onion, jalapeno • Use oil to fry up corn tortillas, remove and drain, add salt and pepper • Drain excess oil from pan and throw in onions, tomatoes and peppers. Cook two minutes. Move to pan, add 3 eggs/milk and corn tortilla chips, cook a couple of minutes.
