Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 medium potatoes, diced

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 4 large eggs

  • ½ cup milk

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ½ cup cooked ham or bacon, chopped (optional)

  • ¼ cup green onions or chives, chopped

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the Potatoes
    Place the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil.
    Cook for 10–15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. Crisp the Potatoes
    Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
    Add the potatoes and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy on the edges.

  3. Add Ham or Bacon (Optional)
    Stir in the chopped ham or bacon and cook for 2–3 minutes until warmed through.

  4. Whisk the Eggs
    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  5. Scramble
    Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes.
    Cook for about 5 minutes, gently stirring, until the eggs are just set and fluffy.

  6. Add the Cheese
    Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
    Cover the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

  7. Garnish & Serve
    Remove from heat, sprinkle with green onions or chives, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Pre-cook the potatoes ahead of time to make mornings faster.

  • Don’t over-stir the eggs to keep them fluffy and soft.

  • Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting.

  • Adjust seasoning at the end, especially if using salty bacon or ham.
