Smoky Scrambled Egg Skillet with Potatoes & Spinach

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:
MY SWISS DIAMON FRYING PANS
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
SWEET SMOKED SPANISH PAPRIKA
SPANISH SEA SALT

  2. Heat a large nonstick fry pan with a medium heat and add in a generous 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, after 2 minutes add in the diced onions and mix with the olive oil, 2 minutes later add in the pieces of potato and continue to mix, after 15 to 17 minutes and the potatoes are fully cooked through, start adding the spinach into the pan, add in batches to not overcrowd the pan, once all the spinach has been incorporated and it´s wilted, season with a generous 1/2 tsp sweet smoked paprika, sea salt and black pepper, mix until well mixed

    Excellent! Even though I didn’t make the paste but crumbled the bread and cut peppers into chunks.
