# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Everything cooks on one sheet pan and one skillet, meaning less cleanup and more eating
- The potatoes get insanely crispy in the oven while the eggs stay fluffy and tender
- You can customize the toppings based on whats languishing in your crisper drawer
02 -
- The key to crispy potatoes is not overcrowding the baking sheet—use two sheets if necessary
- Scrambling eggs over lower heat keeps them tender and prevents that rubbery texture nobody wants
- Adding cheese while the potatoes are still hot ensures it melts just enough without becoming an oily mess
03 -
- Dice your potatoes uniformly so they all finish cooking at the same time
- Pat the diced potatoes dry with a paper towel before tossing with oil—excess moisture prevents proper crisping
