A NOTE from DR. GHOSH
The eggs and potatoes are good sources of iron. Try eating an orange, kiwifruit or other food high in vitamin C with this recipe to help you more easily absorb the iron.

"When I have mouth sores, I use chopped low-acid tomatoes and no green peppers. When I don't have mouth sores, I eat salsa because that's what makes these eggs taste 'normal.'" -Anne R.
