recipe tips
For a spicier version, add diced jalapenos or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes when cooking the potatoes.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added color and flavor.
If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the mixture to a baking dish before adding the cheese and placing it in the oven.
Serve with a side of toast, fruit, or a green salad for a well-rounded meal.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and make a great quick breakfast or lunch option.
Experiment with different seasonings like paprika, cumin, or curry powder for a twist on the traditional flavor.
common recipe questions
What type of potatoes work best for this recipe?
Starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds are ideal as they brown nicely and hold their shape when cooked. Avoid waxy potatoes, which may become too soft.
Can you make this dish with sweet potatoes?
Yes, sweet potatoes can be a delicious and nutritious alternative. They add a slightly sweeter flavor and are rich in vitamins.
How do you keep the potatoes from falling apart or getting mushy?
Boil the potatoes until they are just tender before cubing and frying them. Make sure the skillet is hot enough so that the potatoes sizzle when added, and don’t stir them too often to allow them to develop a crispy exterior.
What other types of cheese work in this recipe?
You can use different types of cheese like Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a Mexican cheese blend.
