This simple, hearty breakfast potato burrito is filled to the brim with fried potatoes, scrambled eggs, and tasty cheddar cheese.
This is a great breakfast on the go. They can be made in advance or served up on a breakfast platter for friends and family.
Make sure you roll your burritos tight, that way you can slice them in half more easily. If you’re taking your breakfast burritos to go, then they store nicely in plastic wrap.
What You Need to Make a Breakfast Potato Burrito
This recipe calls for pre-boiled potatoes, I like to make these the night before so that it’s super easy to make the burritos in the morning. To make pre-cooked boiled potatoes, use russet potatoes or similar, peel the skin off, dice into ¼-inch to ½-inch cubes, and place in a large pot of boiling water for 10 – 15 minutes or until the potatoes are just cooked through.
This recipe uses scrambled eggs, but eggs of your choice can easily be substituted into the burrito, fried or boiled eggs would go great.
Ingredients:
- Diced russet (or similar) potatoes, pre-cooked (boiled)
- Olive oil
- Onion
- Eggs
- Wholegrain mustard
- Garlic powder
- Cheddar cheese
- Dried dill
- Salt & ground black pepper
- Tortillas
How To Make a Breakfast Burrito With Potatoes
In a medium-sized bowl, add your pre-cooked diced russet potatoes, olive oil, dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gently stir the potatoes.
Finely dice your onions. Place a medium-sized skillet pan on medium heat, then add potatoes and onions.
Cook for 5 – 10 minutes until potatoes are golden brown and onions are translucent.
In a small bowl, whisk eggs, salt, and pepper. Using the same skillet you used for the potatoes, reduce heat to low-medium and pour in your eggs.
Use a spatula to move your eggs to scramble them. Cook for approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Now it’s time to assemble your breakfast potato burritos.
Add a couple of large spoonfuls of cooked breakfast potatoes to the middle of one of the tortilla wraps, then spoon scrambled eggs next to the potatoes.
Sprinkle your potatoes and eggs with grated cheddar cheese. Squeeze enough wholegrain mustard to your liking. Garnish with mayonnaise and hot sauce.
Roll your burrito tightly, making sure to keep all the ingredients inside the tortilla. Slice in half and enjoy!
