03 -
  • The secret to this scramble is patience with the potatoes at the beginning. Those golden edges create the flavor foundation for the entire dish. Never rush this step by increasing the heat too high.
  • I learned through much experimentation that allowing the eggs to set slightly before folding creates the perfect texture. Constant stirring breaks the curds too small and results in dry eggs rather than the pillowy clouds we're aiming for.
  • Finally, remember that fresh dill makes a tremendous difference in the ranch drizzle. If you absolutely must use dried, reduce the amount to one teaspoon and let it hydrate in the wet ingredients for at least 10 minutes before serving.
