Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 4 pieces egg whites
• 3 pieces small red potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cup low-fat milk
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 2 stalks green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the red potatoes. Cut them into small cubes about 1/2 inch in size.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook them, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 12-15 minutes.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, crack the eggs and egg whites into a mixing bowl. Add the low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Trim and thinly slice the green onions. Add them to the egg mixture.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the spinach. Allow the edges to set before gently stirring the eggs with a spatula.

Step 8

Continue to cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are just set but still moist, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 9

Add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet with the eggs. Stir gently to combine.

Step 10

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the scrambled egg and potato mixture. Stir until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed.

Step 11

Remove from heat and serve the high protein scrambled eggs with potatoes hot.
