A comforting and delicious breakfast featuring crispy potatoes, fluffy eggs, and melted cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups diced potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup cooked ham or bacon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or chives
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes: Place the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Crisp the potatoes: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the boiled potatoes and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden and crispy on the edges.
  3. Add the ham or bacon (optional): If you’re using cooked ham or bacon, stir it into the skillet with the potatoes and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until heated through.
  4. Whisk the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  5. Scramble the eggs: Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes in the skillet. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring gently and occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through.
  6. Add the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the scrambled eggs and potatoes. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from the heat and top the Cheesy Potato Egg Scramble with the chopped green onions or chives. Serve the dish warm and enjoy!

Notes

For additional flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeños.
