Full Recipe:
4 medium potatoes, diced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 large eggs
½ cup milk
½ cup cooked ham or bacon, chopped (optional)
¼ cup green onions or chives, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
Boil the Potatoes: Place 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.
Crisp the Potatoes: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the boiled potatoes and cook for 5–7 minutes, until they become golden and crispy on the edges.
Add the Ham or Bacon (Optional): Stir in the chopped cooked ham or bacon, and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, just until heated through.
Whisk the Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
Scramble the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes in the skillet. Let cook for about 5 minutes, stirring gently and occasionally, until eggs are scrambled and cooked through.
Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2–3 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted.
Garnish & Serve: Remove from heat. Top with chopped green onions or chives, and serve warm.
