Description

A simple and comforting skillet meal featuring diced potatoes, eggs, and cheddar cheese for a satisfying breakfast or lunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large potatoes, diced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup diced ham or bacon (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add diced potatoes and cook until crispy and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet, and pour the eggs into the other side, letting them sit briefly to set the edges.
  5. Scramble the eggs gently, mixing with the potatoes until the eggs form tender curds.
  6. If using, add ham or bacon and warm through.
  7. Once eggs are set, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and let it melt.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently to preserve texture.
