I didn't have a recipe for this, but I was inspired by the breakfast tacos I had in Austin, Texas last summer (TexMex central!). I had a few raw baby potatoes left, and a couple of soft taco shells in the fridge, so I made my own breakfast tacos.
I cut the potatoes into very small pieces and sauteed them in a skillet on medium heat. I simply flavored them with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, I scrambled some eggs and heated the taco shells.
SIDENOTE on the soft tacos. I usually heat them in the oven in tin foil, but I wanted a quick fix, so I heated them in the microwave. The directions told me to cook them on wax paper, but I couldn't understand why, so I cooked them on a paper towel and covered in a paper towel. Big mistake! I guess the reason is that the paper towel absorbs all the moisture, making the soft taco shells seem more like tortilla chips! Luckily, I still had two shells left. For some reason I still couldn't wrap my head around the wax paper, so I just cooked it in the microwave on a plastic plate, and they turned out fine!
I layered the potatoes and eggs on the shells, then added some salsa and a splash of hot sauce. The only thing they could have used was a little sour cream, but alas, I was out of it!
