Mashed peas provide creaminess at a lower cost.

Toast the tortilla directly on a gas flame until it has little charred toasted bits.

Use smaller tortillas for a better ratio of tortilla to potato to cheese.

In a skillet, add a little butter (or olive oil, canola oil, or chicken fat).

Grate the potato and spread it out in the skillet to look like a snowflake, ensuring steam can escape for crispiness.

Salt the grated potato in the skillet.

Grate cheddar cheese and place it on top of the potato, ensuring some cheese touches the skillet for a crispy edge.

Make a hole in the middle of the potato and cheese mixture to create a nest for the egg.

Crack an egg into the hole and season with salt and pepper.

Cover the skillet with a glass lid to watch the egg cook.

Once cooked, add a squeeze of lime and hot sauce if desired.
