Ingredients

6 large eggs
3 large potatoes, cut into thin matchsticks
1/2 lb cooked beef, cut into thin strips
1 cup frozen green peas
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1
Cut the potatoes into thin matchstick-sized strips and fry them in hot oil in a large skillet until golden and crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes, then drain on paper towels.
2
In the same skillet, sauté the thinly sliced onion and beef strips over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until the onion is soft and lightly caramelized.
3
Add the frozen peas and cook for 2 more minutes until they are heated through and bright green, stirring everything together.
4
Beat the eggs with salt and pepper, pour them over the meat and pea mixture, and stir gently as they begin to set, keeping them soft and slightly runny.
5
Fold in the crispy fried potato matchsticks at the very last moment so they maintain their crunch, and serve immediately on warm plates.
