Eggs with potatoes and Kashar cheese is a hearty Turkish skillet dish: pieces of potato are cooked until tender and golden, then set with eggs and finished with melting Kashar, a mild Turkish cheese. It is a straightforward home-style combination rather than a dish with one fixed recipe.
The contrast of soft egg, browned potato and stretchy cheese makes it a natural fit for breakfast or brunch in Turkey, and it works just as well as a quick supper. Serve it with tomatoes, cucumber or a crisp salad to balance its richness. It brings protein and carbohydrates together in one filling plate; using less cooking oil is an easy way to keep it lighter.

Cook diced potatoes in a skillet until tender and golden, then pour in beaten eggs. When the eggs are nearly set, scatter grated Kashar cheese over the top and cover briefly so the cheese melts without overcooking the eggs.
Yes. Potatoes take longer to cook than eggs, so soften and brown them first. Cut them into small, evenly sized pieces; adding the eggs only once the potatoes are tender helps prevent dry, overcooked eggs.
Waxy or all-purpose potatoes hold their shape well in eggs with potatoes and Kashar cheese. Cut them into evenly sized cubes so they cook at the same pace, and avoid adding the eggs until the centers are tender.
Add the grated Kashar near the end, when the eggs are almost set. Covering the skillet for a short time melts the cheese with gentle residual heat, helping the eggs stay soft rather than turning rubbery.
Yes. First cook the potatoes until tender, then transfer them to an oven-safe dish with the eggs and Kashar. Bake just until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted; leaving it in too long can make the eggs dry.
Wateriness usually comes from potatoes that were not cooked through or ingredients that released moisture into the pan. Cook the potatoes until their moisture evaporates and avoid covering the dish for too long after adding the eggs.
Yes, a mild melting cheese such as mozzarella or young cheddar can stand in for Kashar. The flavor and stretch will differ, so use a cheese that melts smoothly and season the dish after tasting it.
Yes, eggs with potatoes and Kashar cheese are a hearty skillet-style breakfast that fits naturally into a Turkish breakfast spread. They are best served hot, often alongside fresh vegetables, olives, bread, and tea.
Serve eggs with potatoes and Kashar cheese with fresh tomatoes, cucumber, olives, or a simple green salad to balance the rich, filling skillet. Bread is useful for the melted cheese and egg, while extra salty sides are optional.
You can cook the potatoes ahead and refrigerate them in a covered container, then add the eggs and Kashar shortly before serving. Cooking the entire dish ahead is less ideal because reheated eggs tend to become firm and dry.
