Note

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

Add diced ham or sausage for extra protein. For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the egg mixture.

Ensure the potatoes are thoroughly browned before adding the egg mixture to maintain texture contrast. If using fresh hash browns, shred them thin and dry them well before cooking.
