A delicious and hearty Cheesy Potato Egg Scramble combining crispy diced potatoes, fluffy scrambled eggs, melted cheddar cheese, and optional savory ham or bacon, perfect for a satisfying breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Vegetables

  • 4 medium potatoes, diced
  • ¼ cup green onions or chives, chopped

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup cooked ham or bacon, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Add the diced potatoes and cook until they are golden brown and tender, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Add the cooked ham or bacon (optional): Stir in the chopped ham or bacon and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through and let the flavors combine.
  3. Mix eggs and milk: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well blended and slightly frothy.
  4. Scramble the eggs and combine: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the potatoes and ham in the skillet. Let it sit for a few seconds, then gently stir and fold the eggs with the potatoes to scramble, cooking until eggs are just set but still moist, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add cheese and green onions: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions over the scramble. Cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt thoroughly.
  6. Serve warm: Once the cheese has melted and the eggs are cooked through, remove from heat and serve immediately for a comforting breakfast or brunch dish.

Notes

  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with any of your favorite cheeses like mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the ham or bacon.
  • Make sure potatoes are diced evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Use fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro for added flavor variation.
