Steps
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the frozen roasted potatoes and cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until they begin to crisp, then stir and cook another 3 minutes.
- Dice the onion and garlic finely, add them to the potatoes, and cook 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl, pour them over the potatoes, and let them sit for 30 seconds. Stir gently and push the mixture around the skillet until the eggs begin to set, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes with their juice, stir to combine, and cook 2 to 3 minutes until the eggs are cooked through. Sprinkle the cheese over top, stir once to combine, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
