Instructions

  1. Step 1: Peel and dice 2 medium russet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and crack 3 large eggs into the empty side. Season the eggs with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Let cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until whites are set, then gently scramble and mix with potatoes.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1 tbsp soy sauce and 3 thinly sliced scallions, cooking for another 1 minute until everything is well combined and heated through.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately, garnished with extra scallions if desired.
