Papas con huevos is Spanish for potatoes with eggs. This is my grandma's recipe which takes something ordinary and makes it incredible. Crispy and tender at the same time, these potato and egg tacos will melt in your mouth! Serve with fresh tortillas and salsa for a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner!

If I had to choose my last meal, these papas con huevos would be it.

Simply put, it's fried potatoes with scrambled egg.

Served in warm tortillas, these tacos are anything but simple in flavor.

Out of all my grandma's Mexican specialties, this is my favorite.

My grandma raised five children on her own.

As a single working mother, she relied on easy dinners like this to stretch her dollar and fill everyone's tummies.

In case you think this is just potato and egg tacos, let me enlighten you. These are the best ever papas con huevos! They literally melt in your mouth!

How to Make Papas con Huevo

Since this is basically a 2-ingredient recipe, there are several elements which take this from simple to sublime:

Cast iron pan.

This is the secret to elevated flavor.

These will still turn out with a regular non-stick frying pan, but a well-seasoned cast iron pan is what gets that perfectly crispy crust on the potato.

The older the pan is, the better!

Fresh potatoes.

My mom has made these with frozen hash brown potatoes before (shhh, don't tell abuela), and you know what? We still scarfed them down!

But because this is the main ingredient, use a fresh potato that you peel and dice yourself.

Grandma cubed hers quite small, between ¼ and ½ inch.

Homemade tortillas.

This here is what makes the dish.

If you've never had homemade flour tortillas before...I'm sorry.

They make store-bought tortillas unworthy of the name.

I highly recommend you make them from scratch!

I should also note that we always eat these with flour tortillas, never corn.

Not too much egg.

The idea here is that the eggs act as a binder, not a scrambled egg omelet.

Cook them just until set so they stay tender and not rubbery.

We always serve these with extra salt for sprinkling and fresh salsa like guajillo chile salsa.

They can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

For me they are a reminder of my grandma's strength, and the lengths she went through to put supper on the table.
