In this recipe, we´re going to grab 3 basic ingredients: Potatoes, eggs and spinach, and create a dish that packs a serious punch of flavors. Folks, we´re talking a Smoky Scrambled Egg Skillet with Potatoes & Spinach.
This skillet has it all, protein from the eggs, fiber from the spinach and starch from the potatoes. But the past part about this skillet? It´s easy to make, it´s made with just one pan and it all comes together in 30 minutes.
To make this recipe, I used yukon gold potatoes, but you can use any potatoes you like. The secret to the smoky flavor is using a Spanish paprika from La Vera. It has an incredible depth of flavors and is what takes this skillet to the next-level.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: Make sure to cut your potatoes into small pieces, that way they cook quickly. When you add the eggs into the pan, do not over mix them. That way you end up with big chunks of scrambed eggs. Use a GREAT Extra Virgin Olive Oil here, as it cooks and flavors the entire skillet.
Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
SWEET SMOKED SPANISH PAPRIKA
SPANISH SEA SALT
