Directions
-
Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. This will create a perfect base for frying the potatoes.
-
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook them until they are crispy and golden, which should take about 10 to 12 minutes. Make sure to stir them occasionally for even cooking. This step is crucial for achieving that crispiness that balances perfectly with the soft eggs.
-
While the potatoes are cooking, whisk the eggs in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. This mix is what will give your scramble flavor.
-
Once the potatoes are nice and golden, push them to one side of the skillet. Pour the whisked eggs into the empty side of the skillet. This technique helps to keep the flavors distinct before mixing them.
-
Scramble the eggs gently in the skillet until they are fluffy. This step is where the tremendous transformation of the eggs happens!
-
After the eggs are fluffy, mix them with the potatoes. At this stage, the magic begins as the flavors merge together. If you’re using ham or bacon, add it in now.
-
Stir everything together until the cheese melts completely. The warmth from the potatoes and eggs will help achieve that tremendous melt, creating a harmonious blend of cheesy goodness.
-
Finally, garnish your dish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the warmth and flavors at their best.
