- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup cooked ham or bacon (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

- While your potatoes are cooking, whisk together your eggs in a separate bowl until well combined.
- Once the potatoes are beautifully browned, pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with them.

- If desired, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve your Cheesy Potato Egg Scramble hot.
Notes
