👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the Potatoes

In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced or diced potatoes and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and almost tender.

2️⃣ Add Onion and Spinach

Add chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, until softened.
Add the chopped spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using.

3️⃣ Add the Cheese

Turn off the heat. Stir in the cream cheese until melted and evenly distributed.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella into the mixture and stir to combine.

5️⃣ Bake or Cover and Cook

Option 1: Oven Finish – Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 10–12 minutes, until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny.
