    Mixture should appear as though it is just coating the potato. If mixture is too dry, add another egg.
11. 11
    On a medium heat, in a non-stick pan, spray with a little oil and add the mixture.
12. 12
    Cook the mixture until egg looks cooked on bottom-- enough to be able flip over onto a plate and then sliding the mixture back into the pan to cook the other side. Do not overcook egg as it will then become dry. This is a recipe that needs practice until it is just right.
