This Vegan Potato Breakfast Scramble is a unique, delicious and healthy way to start your morning. The portions are large, the veggies are abundant, and the flavors are mind-blowing.
I've been exploring the world of the Potato Reset recently and one question keeps popping up.... "but, what do I eat for breakfast!?" This Potato Scramble was born when I saw a reel of someone eating a tofu scramble and I suddenly thought, "what if I do that... but with POTATOES." Riveting origin story, I know.
This scramble is everything you would think of in a tofu scramble, but made into an even bigger powerhouse of nutrition. It's eggy, filling and packed with veggies and fiber!

Why I love this Potato Scramble and you will too
- The portion is huge. I love to eat a lot of food, but in a healthy way. This is that.
- Veggies for breakfast gives you bonus points for life. But seriously, the veggies are diced, seasoned and blend in so well, it's a great way to get them in in the morning.
- Loads of fiber and other nutrients from the beans & potatoes! I'm a bean lover and research shows that eating beans is so good for you that they can actually add years to your life! BRING ON THOSE EXTRA YEARS PLEASE
- Also, this scramble is just delicious. Rich flavors from the spices and a touch of eggy-ness from Kala Namak.
Substitutions
This Potato Breakfast Scramble is a pretty simple recipe and so there's not a whole lot to change. However, you can customize it to what your preferences are or what you have on hand!
- Vegetables- swap out the veggies for those of your choice. Just make sure you chop them small.
- Beans - swap out the beans for any variety you love.
- Potatoes- I enjoy gold or yellow potatoes in this recipe for their texture. But any variety should really work.
How to store leftovers
This recipe makes a very large serving for one person. But if you happen to have leftovers, they store well in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Warm them up in the microwave or in a skillet before enjoying.
