Here’s a dish, where you can easily find the ingredients in your own pantry. This dish is perfect for a lazy day, very simple, and very yummy. This dish is a personal favorite of mine, whenever my mom does not know what to make for lunch, this meal is the first thing that I suggest, because I just love potatoes. It’s basically scrambled eggs mixed with fried potatoes. In Lebanon, this dish is called Mfarakeh which is something that I did not until now, all my life my family and I called this dish by what it is, Eggs and Potatoes, of course we called it by it’s Arabic name.
Ingredients:
- Eggs
- Potatoes
- Vegetable Oil
- Salt
- Black Pepper
Preparation:
- Peel the potatoes (This step is optional, some prefer to have it with the skin on).
- Cut the potatoes into cubes
- Rinse the potatoes under water to get rid of the starch.
- Dry the potatoes with a paper towel.
- Whisk the eggs.
Cooking:
- The first thing to do is pour some vegetable oil into the frying pan on high heat and let it sit.
- Then you add the potatoes, continuously stirring them when you hear a sizzling sound on medium heat until cooked.
- Once the potatoes are cooked and tender, you pour the whisked eggs over the potatoes and stir constantly until it is cooked.
This dish can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner as well, which is great! Although certain people prefer not to have this for breakfast because of the fried potatoes, I absolutely love it. It goes great along with a side of warm Arabic pita bread, and a cup of hot tea.
