I love a good breakfast burrito, especially one loaded with avocado, eggs, cheese, and hot sauce. One day I started wondering if I could skip the tortilla altogether and use potato instead.

The potato ribbons overlap and lightly crisp on the bottom before the eggs are added. The eggs help hold everything together, creating a flexible potato wrap that rolls surprisingly well around your favorite fillings.

It’s quick, customizable, and feels a little lighter than a traditional breakfast burrito. I used bacon, avocado, cheddar, and plenty of hot sauce, but you can easily make it your own with whatever fillings you have in the fridge.

I’ve been making this version on repeat lately, and it’s become one of my favorite easy breakfasts.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Potato Egg Roll
  • 1 Medium russet potato
  • 2 Eggs
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ½ tbsp Olive oil or neutral oil
Filling
  • 2 strips Cooked bacon
  • ¼ Avocado sliced
  • ¼ cup Shredded cheddar cheese
For Serving
  • Hot sauce optional

Equipment

  • Nonstick skillet
  • Lid
  • Vegetable peeler

Method
 

  1. Prepare pan
    Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Make potato tortilla
    Using a vegetable peeler, peel the potato directly into the skillet, letting the ribbons overlap slightly to form a large circle.
    Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the bottom begins to lightly crisp.
  3. Add eggs
    Crack the eggs over the potatoes and spread them evenly across the surface.
    Season with salt.
    Cover with a lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are mostly set but still soft.
    The eggs help bind the potato ribbons together, making the roll easier to assemble.
  4. Add fillings
    Place the bacon, avocado, and cheddar cheese on one side of the potato round.
  5. Roll
    Carefully roll everything into a tight log.
  6. Finish
    Continue cooking for another 2–3 minutes until the outside is lightly crisp and the cheese has melted.
  7. Slice and serve
    Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces and serve immediately with hot sauce, if desired.

Notes

 

Difficulty

Storage

Best enjoyed fresh.

Tips

• Overlap the potato ribbons slightly so they hold together and form a sturdy base
• The eggs help bind the potato ribbons together, making the roll easier to assemble
• I only used salt, but you can add your favorite seasonings for extra flavor
• Bacon, avocado, and cheddar are my favorite combination, but you can customize the fillings with ham, sausage, chorizo, or different cheeses
• I don’t flip the potato tortilla because I prefer the eggs to stay soft rather than becoming overcooked
• Valentina hot sauce is my favorite pairing, but any hot sauce or breakfast sauce works well
