Description
A quick and tasty dish combining cheesy goodness with scrambled eggs and potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup cooked ham or bacon, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup green onions or chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by boiling the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the boiled potatoes and cook until they become golden and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- If using, add the chopped ham or bacon to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes in the skillet. Gently stir to combine, allowing the eggs to cook and scramble with the potatoes. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the eggs are fully cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions or chives before serving. Enjoy your Cheesy Potato Egg Scramble warm!
Notes
- Feel free to mix in any veggies you have on hand! Bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms make great additions. Just sauté them with the potatoes.
- Swap out the cheddar for something different—Swiss, pepper jack, or even feta can all add unique flavors.
- If you’re a spice lover, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or some hot sauce for an extra kick.
- This dish is perfect for meal prep! Make a batch ahead of time and store portions in the fridge—just reheat for a quick meal.
