Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: cooked ham or bacon, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook until they’re golden and crispy, about 10-15 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Once the potatoes are crispy, push them to one side of the skillet. Pour the whisked eggs into the opposite side. Scramble the eggs until cooked through.
- Stir in the cheese and, if using, add the optional ham or bacon. Mix until everything is melted and well combined.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions for a pop of color.
Notes
Ensure your skillet is hot enough before adding potatoes to avoid sogginess. For fluffier eggs, add a splash of milk or cream.
