A hearty combination of crispy potatoes, fluffy eggs, and gooey cheddar cheese, perfect for breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup ham or bacon, diced (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook until they are golden and crispy, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Prepare the eggs: While the potatoes are cooking, crack the 4 eggs into a bowl, season them with salt and pepper, and beat well until fully blended.
  4. Add ham or bacon: If you’re using ham or bacon, add the diced pieces to the skillet with the potatoes and cook until warmed through, letting the flavors mingle.
  5. Scramble the eggs: Pour the beaten eggs over the crispy potatoes and ham. Gently stir with a spatula to scramble the mixture together. Cook until the eggs are set but still slightly soft.
  6. Melt the cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is fully melted, turning the scramble into a gooey, cheesy delight.
  7. Garnish and serve: Finally, for an added touch of color and flavor, garnish your dish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm, and enjoy!
