Ingredients
Servings: 1–2
1 large potato (approx. 250 g / 8.8 oz)
4 large eggs
50 g shredded cheese (1.8 oz / approx. ½ US cup)
Olive oil for frying (approx. 1 tbsp / 15 ml)
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the potato
Wash the potato and slice it into very thin, even rounds.
2. Arrange the potatoes
Heat a little olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Arrange the potato slices in an overlapping circular layer.
3. Cook until golden
Cook gently until the potatoes begin to soften and turn golden underneath. Season with salt and black pepper.
4. Add the eggs
Whisk the four eggs together and pour them evenly over the potato slices.
5. Cook the egg layer
Continue cooking over medium-low heat until the eggs are set and the potatoes are tender. Cover briefly if necessary.
6. Add the cheese
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the potato and egg base.
7. Fold in half
Carefully fold the other half over the cheese. Cook briefly until the cheese melts.
8. Serve hot
Transfer to a plate and pull apart while the cheese is still warm and stretchy. Enjoy!
K.O. Tip
For the best results, slice the potato as thinly as possible and cook over medium-low heat. This helps the potatoes become tender without burning the eggs.
Serve immediately for the ultimate melted cheese pull!
