Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Peel the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes of about 2 cm. Set them aside in a bowl.

  2. Boil the potatoes

    Drop the potatoes into a saucepan of salted boiling water and cook for 15 min over medium heat. Drain and set aside.

  3. Cut the zucchini and onions

    On the cutting board, cut the zucchini into thick 1 cm rounds and dice the onions. Set aside.

    Tip · Cut the zucchini into even pieces so they cook evenly.

  4. Cook the onions and zucchini

    Heat the oil in the skillet and cook the onions over medium heat for 3 min. Add the zucchini and cook for 5 min, stirring.

  5. Add the potatoes

    Add the drained potatoes to the skillet with the zucchini and onions. Mix well.

  6. Stir in the ham

    Cut the ham into small cubes and add them to the skillet. Mix everything together.

  7. Season with paprika

    Sprinkle with paprika and season lightly with salt and pepper. Mix well to spread the flavors around.

  8. Beat the eggs

    In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Tip · Go easy on the salt in the eggs, since the ham and cheese already bring plenty.

  9. Add the eggs

    Tip the beaten eggs over the skillet mixture and cook over low heat for 3 min without stirring, until the top is set.

  10. Sprinkle with cheese

    Spread the shredded cheese over the top and let it melt for 1 min before serving.
