Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the diced potatoes and fry until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove the potatoes and set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.

In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed and sauté chopped onion until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Add diced pumpkin and large fresh peppers, cooking until tender, about 5 minutes.

Stir in chopped tomatoes and caraway seeds or coriander powder, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Return the fried potatoes to the skillet and mix well with the vegetables.

Crack eggs over the mixture and gently stir to combine, cooking until eggs are set, about 3-5 minutes.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
