Depression Era Eggs with Peppers and Potatoes

Print Recipe

A hearty, budget-friendly skillet dish inspired by Depression-era cooking, combining eggs, potatoes, and peppers for a filling meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. Crack eggs directly into the skillet over the potato and vegetable mixture. Stir gently to scramble the eggs with the vegetables.
  5. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are fully set and vegetables are tender, about 3–5 minutes.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

This dish is easily adaptable—add leftover meat or hot dogs for extra protein. For a creamier texture, stir in a splash of milk or a pat of butter with the eggs. Leftovers reheat well for breakfast or lunch.
