TIPS & TRICKS to make this Recipe: It takes about 40 minutes for the potatoes to be perfectly cooked in the oven. In order to get the eggs done at the same time as the potatoes. Start cutting your veggies and then cooking the scramble at the half way point of cooking the potatoes. Which was about 20 minutes in my case. You can also roast your potatoes ahead of time and just re-heat when cooking the eggs.
