Instructions
Creating this Cheesy Potato Egg Scramble is straightforward. Follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash and dice the potatoes into small cubes for even cooking.
2. Cook the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown and tender, stirring occasionally.
3. Add Vegetables: Once the potatoes are cooked, add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
4. Beat the Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Combine: Pour the beaten eggs over the potato and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Allow the eggs to sit for a minute without stirring.
6. Scramble Eggs: Gently stir the eggs into the potato mixture, cooking until they are just set and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, allowing it to melt into the mixture.
8. Finish Cooking: Continue stirring gently until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined, about 1-2 minutes more.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
10. Serve Warm: Plate the cheesy potato egg scramble and enjoy while hot!
