Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Idaho potatoes
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 6 bacon strips
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.25 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
Peel and grate the Idaho potatoes using the large holes of a box grater. Rinse the grated potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the grated potatoes in an even layer, pressing them down with a spatula. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a separate pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels. Once cool, break the bacon into pieces.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and gently scramble until just set. Remove from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble each breakfast burrito, place a portion of the crispy hash browns in the center of a tortilla. Top with scrambled eggs, bacon pieces, shredded cheddar cheese, a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll it up tightly to form a burrito.
Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for an on-the-go breakfast!
