instructions
    1

    Begin by washing and peeling the potatoes. Cut them into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick.

    2

    In a large frying pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced potatoes to the pan. Season with salt and pepper.

    3

    Cook the potatoes for about 15 minutes, flipping them occasionally to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy. They should be golden brown and tender.

    4

    While the potatoes are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly with a fork. Set aside.

    5

    Once the potatoes are cooked, push them to one side of the pan and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the empty side.

    6

    Pour the beaten eggs into the oil and let them cook for about 2-3 minutes until they start to set. Gently stir the eggs to scramble them while continuing to cook.

    7

    Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, combine them with the potatoes in the pan. Cook together for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld.

    8

    Remove from heat and serve hot, optionally garnished with chopped herbs or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
