Ingredients
- 2 lbs, diced into 1/2-inch cubes potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp, finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1, finely diced yellow onion
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 eggs

Instructions

- Step 2: Add 1 finely diced yellow onion, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Continue cooking for 10-12 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes, until potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
