Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups yellow potatoes skin-on, cut into small chunks (Note 1)
  • ½ tablespoon + ½ teaspoon kosher salt divided
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ small yellow onion peeled and diced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • Ground black pepper
  • Handful Italian flat-leaf parsley minced (optional)
  • 2-3 round sandwich rolls

Instructions
 

  • Add the potatoes to a 2.5-quart pot. Fill it with water and the ½ tablespoon kosher salt, and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes just until fork-tender, 7-10 minutes. Drain, but don't shake them around too much. Set aside.
  • Heat a medium-sized pan over medium-low to medium heat with the olive oil, and cook the drained potatoes with the remaining ½ teaspoon kosher salt until lightly golden, stirring occasionally, 7-10 minutes. Add the onion after the potatoes have been cooking for 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, Pecorino, and some ground black pepper in a small bowl.
  • When the potatoes have some color, lower the heat and pour in the egg mixture. Cook the eggs for 3-5 minutes or until they're set, stirring often.
  • Taste for salt and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Fill each sandwich roll with some of the potatoes and eggs. Enjoy!

Notes

Note 1: You'll need 2-3 medium-sized yellow potatoes for 2 cups.
