✨ TIPS
- Cut potatoes evenly so they cook at the same speed.
- For extra crispiness, soak diced potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes before cooking, then pat dry.
- Add shredded cheese on top for a richer flavor.
- You can also add cooked sausage, mushrooms, or spinach for variety.
- Cook eggs on low heat at the end to keep them soft and fluffy.
