Baked Egg and Potato Cups
These Sweet Potato Egg Cups look just like muffins, but you can make them a must-have for the busiest mornings because they can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge.

You can easily make this tempting recipe by combining eggs, potatoes, grated Parmesan cheese, and pesto. It will also be the best option for brunch or a late-night meal.
But when you bake it in a muffin tray, it can be much more flavorful if you sprinkle it with a little pesto or sundried tomato paste before baking. You can also add sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms. If you want more protein, you can add cooked bacon or sausage. It can be served in many ways, but I prefer to serve it with fresh-cut fruits and yogurt.

Spanish Tortilla
Now let’s turn to a slightly exotic dish like this Spanish Tortilla recipe which is a great example of a potato and egg breakfast. Since it is a Spanish dish, you can also call it by its original name i.e. Tortilla Española. It is actually a Spanish fluffy egg omelet made with thinly sliced potatoes and onions. But its taste is incomparable if you can prepare this tortilla by following the right method. If you add chorizo and smoked paprika to it, you will remember the taste of this Spanish tortilla for the rest of your life because the richness of chorizo goes perfectly with the potatoes and fluffy eggs.
You can substitute bell peppers or spinach for chorizo, which will add flavor as well as nutrition to your egg omelet. Also, you add cheese like manchego or cheddar between the egg and potato layers and add some fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or thyme to take the flavor and texture to another level. It is cut into small pieces and served with a toothpick, especially at a house party. Alternatively, you can serve it as a sandwich between two slices of bread. Hope you will like this recipe from Spain, and I think this is one of the best healthy breakfast recipes with potatoes and eggs in Spanish cuisine.

Mexican Breakfast Burritos
Now let’s look at a Mexican dish that is ideal for breakfast but simple and made with eggs and potatoes. Burrito is a great breakfast option made with scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes, and the smoky, slightly spicy kick of poblano peppers, wrapped in a hot tortilla to make this within 40 minutes. You can also add Mexican chorizo, smoked paprika, cheddar cheese, and Monterey jack cheese or pepper jack cheese to it, which will increase its flavor a lot and will also help keep you full and energetic until noon.
You can also add bacon or any sausage to it for a little protein boost. But if you want to make a vegetarian version of this Mexican burrito, you should use black beans and corn to maintain a healthy balance. While this burrito goes great with fresh fruit, a mixed green salad, or refried beans, I think it should be served with freshly squeezed orange juice, a hot cup of coffee, or a refreshing iced tea.

FAQ on these Simple Breakfast Recipes with Potatoes and Eggs
1. What are the health benefits of combining potatoes and eggs for breakfast?
Combining potatoes and eggs for breakfast provides a balanced meal rich in essential nutrients. Potatoes provide complex carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamins such as vitamin C and potassium. Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, choline, and selenium. Together, they provide sustained energy, increase satiety, and support muscle repair and growth.
2. Can I make this potato and egg recipe the night before?
Yes, many of these recipes can be partially or completely prepared the night before. For example, casseroles, frittatas, and quiches can be assembled and refrigerated overnight, and then baked in the morning. Hash and breakfast bowl ingredients can be prepared and stored separately, making morning assembly quick and easy. Cooking potatoes in advance and storing them in the fridge also saves time.
3. How can I make these recipes healthier?
Replace ordinary potatoes with sweet potatoes to boost their nutritional value and dietary fiber. Choose to cook using techniques such as baking or steaming rather than deep-frying. Also, add an increased variety of vegetables including spinach, bell peppers, and tomatoes to your meals. You can swap out unhealthy fats for ones that are good for the heart, such as olive oil or avocado oil. Replace a portion or all of the cheese with a nutritional yeast alternative for a diet-friendly choice.
4. What are some tips for perfectly cooking eggs in these recipes?
While making the scrambled eggs, cook them on low heat and keep stirring continuously to make them creamy and thick. When making egg poach, add a little vinegar to medium-hot water, which will help the egg whites set quickly. While making fried eggs, cook on medium heat and use butter. For baked eggs, ensure even cooking by using preheated ovens and checking frequently towards the end of baking time.
5. Can these recipes be made in bulk and frozen for later use?
Many of these foods can be prepared in bulk and stored in the refrigerator for future use. Casserole, quiche, and muffins freeze especially well. Make sure dishes are completely cooled before sealing them securely with plastic wrap and aluminum foil or storing them in an airtight container.
