Patates me Avga – Potatoes and Eggs (Πατάτες με Αυγά)
This is Cypriot comfort food at its simplest and most nostalgic. Fried potatoes tossed with scrambled eggs and a touch of dried mint. It’s the kind of dish you throw together with what you have, yet somehow it always hits the spot. Perfect for breakfast, lunch or a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Method
- Peel, wash and dry the potatoes, then chop into 1-inch cubes. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the potatoes and fry for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to stop them from sticking. Cook until golden and tender.
- Remove the pan from the heat. In a bowl, crack the eggs, add the dried mint and whisk well.
- Pour the eggs into the pan with the potatoes. Return the pan to low heat and stir gently until the eggs are just cooked through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
