Heat the oil in a 10-inch ovenware skillet (cast iron). Add the potato

about 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Combine the eggs, milk,
the 1/2 tsp salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the potatoes in the
skillet. Reduce the heat, cover and cook over low heat for about 8 to 10
minutes or until the eggs are nearly set. Uncover the skillet and place
under the broiler, 3 to 4-inches from the heat, for 2 to 3 minutes until
the top is set.
