Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium golden or russet potatoes
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 1 bell pepper (any color)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1. Sauté the Potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook until golden brown and tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  2. 2. Add Aromatics: Stir in diced onion and bell pepper once the potatoes are nearly done. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3. Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with salt and pepper until frothy.
  4. 4. Combine: Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed mixture in the skillet. Gently stir on low heat until fluffy curds form.
  5. 5. Melt Cheese: When eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny, sprinkle cheese on top. Cover for 1-2 minutes until melted.
  6. 6. Taste Test: Stir again before serving, adjusting seasoning as needed.
