Description

A comforting breakfast dish featuring crispy potatoes, fluffy eggs, and rich cheddar cheese that brings warmth and satisfaction to any meal.


Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Skillet: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Crisp the Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for about 10-12 minutes until crispy and golden brown, stirring occasionally.
  3. Whisk and Add Eggs: While the potatoes are cooking, whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper until fully blended.
  4. Move Potatoes and Scramble the Eggs: Push the potatoes to one side and pour the whisked eggs into the empty space. Stir gently to scramble until fluffy.
  5. Combine and Finalize: Add the cheddar cheese and optional ham or bacon, gently stir until fully cooked.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Dish out warm, garnished with fresh chives.

Notes

For maximum creaminess, allow the eggs to finish cooking off the heat. Don’t rush the potato-cooking process for best results.
