  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter. Allow it to melt.
  • Add diced potatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and tender. If adding onions or bell peppers, stir them in during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk together, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the cooked potatoes, stirring gently to combine.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture and continue cooking until the eggs are fully scrambled and the cheese is melted (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella, gouda, or pepper jack for variety.
  • To make it spicy, sprinkle chili flakes or add diced jalapeños.
  • Sweet potatoes can be used for a slightly different flavor profile.
