Notes
Add ½ tsp. Red Pepper Flakes or diced Jalapeños for added zing.
Optionally, stir in Bell Peppers or sliced Mushrooms along with the Onions. Low carb variation: Substitute diced Cauliflower or Zucchini for the Potatoes. Try Pepper Jack, Gouda, or Mexican 3 Cheese blend for variety. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of oil to restore crispness. Do NOT microwave. That makes this soggy.
