Ingredients
  

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

4 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper, diced (any color)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with a little salt and pepper. Cook until they are golden brown and tender, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once they are almost cooked through, transfer them to a plate and cover to keep warm.

    Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables have softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well blended.

        Combine Everything: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the whisked eggs over the mixture and gently stir to combine everything evenly.

          Cook the Scramble: Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the eggs are just set and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to overcook; you want the eggs to remain moist.

            Add Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Allow it to melt into the hot scramble.

              Serve: Plate your cheesy potato egg scramble, and garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired. Enjoy your delicious breakfast while it’s warm!
