    8 eggs
    1 kg. potato (8 medium)
    3 garlic cloves
    4 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Peel and slice the potatos. Boil them until tender (be careful not to overcook them). Drain potatoes.
Beat eggs in a large bowl with a fork. Add the chopped garlic cloves. Salt and pepper to taste. Add potatoes to beaten eggs, pressing them so that eggs cover them completely. Let sit for 15 minutes.
Heat 2 tbsps of the oil in large nonstick skillet. Add potato-egg mixture, spreading quickly. Lower the heat to medium-high. Shake pan to prevent sticking. When potatoes start to brown, put a plate on top skillet and flip to cook other side, adding another tbsp of oil.
