Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium-sized russet potatoes, peeled and diced About 1 pound
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Or your favorite type of cheese
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers or spinach Optional for added nutrition

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by peeling and dicing your potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 8–10 minutes or until they are golden and fork-tender, stirring occasionally.
  2. Once the potatoes are tender, add the chopped onions. Sauté for another 2–3 minutes until the onions become translucent.
  3. In a bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper to taste. If you’re adding any optional veggies, stir them in now.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed potatoes and onions in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it sit for about a minute without stirring.
  5. Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, ensuring the curds form evenly. Continue cooking until the eggs are just set but still creamy, about 3–4 minutes.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Cover with a lid for about 1–2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
  7. Give it a gentle stir, then serve hot. Enjoy your Cheesy Potato Egg Scramble with some fresh herbs sprinkled on top for added flavor!

Notes

Use fresh eggs for best flavor. Don’t overcook the eggs, as they will continue cooking off the heat. Always taste a spoonful to adjust seasoning before serving.
