Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 6 large eggs (fresh)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 small sweet onion (diced)
- 1 bell pepper (diced, any color)
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
- 2 tbsp butter (or oil for cooking)
Instructions
- Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter or oil. Add diced onions and bell peppers; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cubed potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until golden brown and tender, approximately 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Pour into the skillet over the cooked veggies and potatoes. Gently stir as they begin to set for about 3-5 minutes.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top while the eggs are still slightly runny. Cover briefly to allow cheese to melt.
- Serve hot from the skillet, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
