Description

This Cheesy Potato Egg Scramble combines crispy potatoes, sautéed veggies, scrambled eggs, and melted cheddar cheese into a hearty, satisfying dish. It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner, offering comfort and flavor in every bite.


Ingredients

4 medium-sized potatoes, diced

6 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 small onion, diced

1 bell pepper, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Wash and dice the potatoes into small cubes.
  2. Boil the potatoes in a medium pot for 8-10 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and bell pepper for 3-5 minutes until softened.
  4. Add the drained potatoes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes until crispy on the outside.
  5. Whisk the eggs in a bowl, adding a pinch of salt and pepper.
  6. Pour the beaten eggs over the potato mixture in the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and continue cooking until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted, about 4-5 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat, let cool for a couple of minutes, and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat in a skillet over low heat or use the microwave with a splash of water or milk to keep the eggs moist.

For a heartier version, add protein like bacon, sausage, or plant-based options such as tofu or tempeh.

Feel free to add other vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for extra flavor and nutrients.
