The Revuelto Gramajo is a classic Argentine dish renowned for its hearty combination of scrambled eggs, crispy French fries, savory ham, and vibrant green peas. Its origins can be traced back to the early 20th century, named after General Artemio Gramajo, a prominent figure in Argentine military history.
