Quick Tasty German Potato Recipe in 5 Minutes

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and brown.

Prepare the Egg Mixture:

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, pepper, and red pepper or paprika until combined. Set aside.

Sauté the Onion:

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 1-2 minutes, until it becomes soft and translucent. Stir in the green onions and cook for another 30 seconds.

Make the Creamy Sauce:

Push the potatoes and onions to one side of the skillet. In the empty space, melt the butter and then add the flour, stirring constantly to make a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the flour is incorporated. Gradually whisk in the cream, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly.

Combine and Add Cheese:

Once the sauce has thickened, pour in the egg mixture, stirring quickly to combine with the sauce and potatoes. Cook for an additional minute, allowing the eggs to cook through.

Add Cheese:

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes, stirring until melted and the dish becomes creamy.

Serve:

Serve the creamy, cheesy potatoes hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
