3-Ingredient Crispy Potato & Egg DinnerIf you’re looking for a genuinely simple potato dinner, try this crispy potato-and-egg skillet. Similar three-ingredient potato-and-egg recipes use potatoes, eggs and cheese to create a filling one-pan meal.
Ingredients
- 🥔 2 medium potatoes
- 🥚 3 eggs
- 🧀 ½ cup grated cheese
Salt, pepper and a little oil are pantry basics rather than counted as the three main ingredients.
👩‍🍳 How to make it
- Slice the potatoes very thinly.
- Heat a little oil in a nonstick skillet and arrange the potatoes in an even layer.
- Cook over medium-low heat until the potatoes are tender and golden, turning as needed.
- Beat the eggs and pour them evenly over the potatoes.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the top.
- Cover and cook on low heat for about 3–5 minutes, until the eggs are set and the cheese has melted.
- Slice into wedges and serve hot.
Tip: Keep the potato slices thin—this helps them cook evenly and gives you that delicious crisp edge.
For an optional upgrade, add onion, herbs, chili flakes or leftover vegetables. The basic three-ingredient version is surprisingly satisfying on its own.
