    This is a fantastic recipe, but I'd like to call out you saying that this recipe isn't "revolutionary". That's one of the main reasons this recipe is so good. As a cooking novice, a lot of instructional cooking content out there is aimed at (im guessing here) intermediate+ cooks, mostly because I figure the more difficult recipes look more impressive and thus get more clicks.
    The hardest thing for me when it comes to cooking is dealing with the "trial period" of a new recipe, and the more universal the ingredients, the less painful this part is. Every ingredient used in this video is a kitchen staple, and the principle you espouse of Potatoes Meat Eggs is a good way to call back to the fundamentals of *why* this dish works in the first place. It's a rare example of content that bridges the gap between the abstract fundamentals and a recipe tutorial.
    Other things you do well:
    - You take the time to introduce each ingredient and show the full prep process, even for something as simple as a potato.
    - Just showing us the nutritional label on the container (I'm not sure why I appreciate it being part of the shot like that but it's nice, maybe it feels more "real")
    - Not trying to oversimplify what you're doing, I appreciated that you didn't at any point say "just make scrambled eggs with your meat and veg" even if that is what you're doing
    - Using the simplest available tool (not sure if you did this on purpose or just #budgetlife)
    - Not including unnecessary measurements for seasoning etc. You do show how much you're putting in which is good, measuring seasoning isn't bad or anything but it is very much a "feel" thing, and the only way to develop the feel is to try.

      I was just talking with a friend about my frustration with food UA-camrs totally missing the mark of bringing down to earth - and making tangible - recipes that are too often only presented in an abstract and aesthetically appealing way. It gets clicks to show crazy food creations, sure, but my aim isn’t to impress. I don’t even have a culinary background or the education for one that would support a professional image. Instead, my hope is that I build an image around making good, wholesome and healthy food accessible to any and everyone.
      I hope to keep providing content that achieves what you described well here, bridging that gap between abstract and actionable. And I appreciate how thorough your review is and will most definitely consider your points in the production and editing of my many videos to come.
      Btw, I hope you stick around. I think you’ll like my next video for these same reasons.
      Much love.

    Something this is also underrated for is how you can expand it, meat eggs potatoes. Throw in some chorizo and a tortilla you have a breakfast burrito. If you swap out rice for the Tate’s you can throw on soy sauce and make a Japanese style thing with spam or fish. Throw it in a pita role with chickpeas and Tika misala tatziki or tahini. I get bored with food and stop eating all together. This can fix that for you

      Absolutely. This is a basic “recipe” and is meant to be used as a base for good nutrition. Do what you want with it! I sometimes sub out the potatoes for one of my tortillas and meal prep a week’s worth of breakfast burritos. Sometimes I change up the spices and the meat I use and top the whole thing with homemade kimchi. The possibilities are truly endless.

      I don’t like to be that guy, but dietary cholesterol actually does affect serum cholesterol, just less than other factors like saturated fat, obesity and eating processed food. I’m not denying everything he said in the video, our liver does have the ability to regulate serum cholesterol to a certain degree, but this doesn’t mean you should eat all the cholesterol you want as some influencers would like you to believe.
      I don’t blame him for believing in what he said in the video either, many influencers are pushing the idea that dietary cholesterol isn’t harmful in any way due to misinterpreting scientific data, the one study that doesn’t show correlation between cholesterol consumption and serum cholesterol is really bad quality, one where they didn’t have a control group and didn’t know the baseline consumption of cholesterol to compare it later when dietary cholesterol was increased in the participants diet, hence not knowing what even was the increase in dietary cholesterol consumption.
      On the majority of studies there’s a clear correlation that dietary cholesterol increases serum cholesterol, and this effect is increased when the baseline consumption is 0mg and is less and less noticeable when the baseline consumption is higher.
      If you want to look this up search for Dietary cholesterol effects on serum cholesterol on pubmed, it’s worth knowing

    I would like to make a recommendation if I may: When it comes to this magnificent source of life, also known as potato, you should aim for a type with yellow flesh. Preferably an old variety which hasnt been molested much and is close to it's original form. Not only are those delicious, they contain more nutrients aswell.

    Thank you for this recipe. This is now one of my regular breakfast dishes and I've changed it up here and there time to time.
    I'm working through all your videos and every single one so far are just awesome. You use ingredients like a "lazy" cook. I mean that kindly because I am also a lazy cook. I want fast, tasty and easy cleanup.
    On top of that you do it in such a way where it's possible to meal prep for the week too. Plus, the ingredients can change time to time! So I love this format. Like here is the base, and the rest is interchangeable. Cilantro? Sure. Different spices? Hell yeah! Different meat? Totally!
    Personally I make a smaller serving than you (2 eggs, 1 potato) and do it on the day I make it, but the option to meal prep is there and I love that because I know I can store these if I can't finish it. Even my smaller serving is too much for me in one sitting! Haha

    Never cooked a potato in a microwave until a couple months ago...I usually eat bacon/sausage, egg, onion, bell peppers and potato (pan fried) when I cook breakfast. I'll try microwaving sometime since cooking the potato takes the longest amount of time. I'll try adding kale or broccoli, what ever is cheaper for some greens for my breakfast. I also use siracha as my sauce.

    Bake pots ahead. Scramble eggs right in. Cheese on top is good but generally its a glass of kefir with it.
    Kids don’t like greens in it so they’re on the side. I love greens tho n prefer them in it.

    re:wondering if parsley does anything for flavor, try putting some dried parsley in some hot water and giving it a good sniff. those volatile flavor compounds that are released are what's going into your food, and while they may be earthy and or even overbearing in isolate, it brings that earthiness to the dish, and can help round out an otherwise thin tasting base

      - random supplements of the moment (maca powder, chía seeds, chocolate nibs, flax fiber mix, wheatgrass powder, powdered collagen, hemp seeds.)
      Delish. It's like eating ice cream every morning, but it's healthy. I have found that it's not super filling, though, and I need something an hour and a half later, so I usually have a peanut butter cliff bar at 10:30.

      Nice! Yeah the “not super filling” aspect has been a big issue for me when it comes to smoothies and the like. I did use to make one that was 600-700 calories, 60g protein and tasted like chocolate milk. It was great! And super filling. However, not much nutrition in that one. Maybe I’ll be able to take some inspiration from your breakfast idea and come up with a breakfast or snack smoothie that ticks all the boxes. Maybe not. 🤷‍♂️

    Ethan, youre the man. My first of many go at this:
    - single serving
    - 2 smallish russet potatoes, skin massaged w/evoo (my microwave doesnt allow me to select the number of potatoes; it took 3 times on the potato selection until the skin was crispy to my liking; def altogether shorter than 15 min by prolly half)
    - already cooked chicken thigh meat heated up in pan (maybe equivalent to 1 v small thigh); 3 small garlic cloves chopped up added; 1/5 can of black beans w/juice added
    - after that has cooked to my liking move it all to side of pan and add evoo and scramble 2 eggs in the pan slowly incorporating everything else periodically (dont overcook eggs, theyll cook more in next step)
    - break up potatoes in the bowl they cooked in; add slice american cheese; add pan mixture; black pepper/hot sauce to taste; nuke 30 sec
    - combine everything; more hot sauce/black pepper to taste; add cold good quality marinara sauce to taste; add fresh italian parsley to taste

    I do something similar. I cook it as a frittata in a very large pan, then slice it into 16 slices. A meal is usually 2 slices, sometimes just 1 for a sandwich or taco.
    The base is about 10 large eggs, 2 large diced potatoes, about 1 large diced onion. Then I usually add a generous amount of mushroom, kale and either salsa or marina for flavor and nutrition. I eat it just about every morning on a sandwich, taco or burrito. Taco is the cheapest since corn tortillas cost about 3 cents each.
    I don't add any meat or cheese to the frittata, because I found those flavors tend to disappear into it. It's better to add small amounts of meat or cheese as a topping when serving to maximize flavor and minimize cost.

    Love to get your thoughts.

      I think that if the macros are right and that it’s an enjoyable meal to have on a consistent basis without being too expensive, then it could be a winner.
      I’ve tried breakfasts like the one you describe and unfortunately the ones I’ve made have felt too busy. Just too many things going on and too many aspects of the dish to keep track of to be practical.
      Again, though, if you can find a way to make the process of creating the meal more streamlined (like bulk prepping the eggs and having ample supply of frozen avocado), it could work.
