Blue Lake Ranch Southwest Scramble
We grow a variety of potatoes at Blue Lake Ranch, and the purple Peruvian potatoes, which are very purple, are always a fun surprise. Because we are in southwestern Colorado in the 4-Corners area, green chilies are a must!
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, chives or diced red bell pepper
- 10 eggs
- 6-8 potatoes red, yellow, white or purple
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- Green chilies to taste
- 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions: Dice peeled potatoes to bite size pieces; mix with mushroom soup and green chilies. Season with salt and pepper. Microwave approximately 6-7 minutes in the serving dish. While potatoes are cooking, scramble the eggs with salt and pepper. Pour over the potatoes; mix well and sprinkle with cheese and bake at 350° until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with garnish and serve.
