Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium russet potatoes (about 400g), peeled and diced
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 100g)
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into half-inch cubes for even cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes.
- Stir in chopped onions and bell peppers; sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until softened.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the potato-veggie medley in the skillet. Cook undisturbed for one minute before gently stirring until the eggs are set but still soft, about three more minutes.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar on top while still hot; allow it to melt before serving.
