These easy, cheesy scrambled eggs are made
lighter with fat-free cheese and egg whites. And with chicken
bouillon and red wine vinegar, the home fries are
melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

8 small uncooked red potato(es), diced
2 sprays cooking spray
1/2 cup scallion(s), chopped (use both green and white parts)
1/3 cup water
1 cube chicken bouillon cube, without MSG (about 4 g)
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
3/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
12 large egg white(s)
4 oz Kraft Free Singles American Cheese, or other brand, thinly sliced
or shredded
- Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and
add enough water to cover them. Set pan over high heat and bring to
a boil. Boil until potatoes are fork-tender, about 8 minutes; drain.
- Coat a large nonstick skillet with
cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. Add potatoes,
scallions, 1/3 cup of water, bouillon cube, vinegar and paprika;
bring to a simmer. Cook until liquid is absorbed (or evaporates) and
potatoes are golden, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Remove
potatoes from heat, season to taste with salt and pepper and cover
to keep warm.
- Coat a second large nonstick skillet with
cooking spray (or spoon potatoes onto a serving plate, cover to keep
warm and reuse skillet) and set pan over medium-high heat. Add egg
whites and cheese and cook until whites are cooked through, stirring
frequently, about 3 to 5 minutes; season to taste with salt and
pepper. Yields about 1/2 cup of eggs and 1/2 cup of home fries per
serving.
We renovated Scrambled Eggs with Home Fries by:
- Parboiling the potatoes to help tenderize
them so we could omit the butter when making the home fries.
- Sautéing the potatoes in bouillon instead
of butter for great flavor without added fat.
- Substituting egg whites for whole eggs
and fat-free cheese for regular cheese to cut back on calories and
fat.
