How to Make Cheesy Potato Egg Scramble
  1. Dice the potatoes by cutting them into small, even pieces. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add butter or olive oil. Once melted, add the diced potatoes. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender.
  3. Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a splash of milk, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the cooked potatoes. Stir gently for about 5 minutes until the eggs set and fully cook without over-stirring.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the scramble. Stir gently until the cheese is melted and integrated into the dish.
  6. Garnish with chopped green onions on top and serve warm.
