Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large potatoes, diced
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: 1/2 cup diced ham or bacon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons 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, spreading them evenly. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden brown and crispy.
- While the potatoes cook, crack the eggs into a bowl. Whisk them well and add salt and pepper.
- Once the potatoes are crispy, push them to one side of the skillet. Pour the whisked eggs into the empty space and scramble until just set.
- If using diced ham or bacon, add it to the skillet now and mix everything together.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture. Allow it to melt as you stir everything until well combined.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions for a fresh pop of flavor!
Notes
