Peel the potato and cut it into small cubes.

Small pieces matter.

They cook faster.

And mornings are impatient.

You can boil them for 7–8 minutes until just tender.

Or pan-fry directly if you’re not rushing.

I usually boil first. Less thinking later.

Drain and keep aside.

Heat oil or butter in your pan.

Add potatoes and… pause.

Let them sit.

Don’t stir too much.

Let color develop.

When they turn lightly golden and smell comforting, add salt and pepper.

That smell alone feels like breakfast.

Remove and set aside.

Lower the heat.

Crack eggs into the same pan.

Scramble slowly.

Soft eggs forgive mistakes.

Dry eggs ruin mornings.

Add a pinch of salt.

Stop there.

Add the potatoes back into the eggs.

This is where you add onions, vegetables, meat — if using.

Mix gently.

Turn off the heat.

Sprinkle cheese on top and let it melt quietly.

No rushing cheese. Ever.

Warm the tortilla on a dry pan for 10–15 seconds per side.

Cold tortillas crack.

Warm ones cooperate.

I learned this the messy way.

Place filling in the center.

Not too much — temptation is real, but restraint helps.

Fold bottom up.

Fold sides in.

Roll tightly.

Wrap in foil if you like.

Let it rest for half a minute.

That short pause changes everything.
