Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cheesy Potato Egg Scramble
- Boil the Potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- Crisp the Potatoes: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the drained potatoes, spread in an even layer, and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Add Optional Meats: If using, stir in cooked ham or bacon and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and frothy.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes in the skillet. Stir gently over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until eggs are just set.
- Add the Cheese: Once eggs are cooked, sprinkle shredded cheddar on top. Cover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with green onions or chives. Serve warm.

Notes
For the best results, ensure the potatoes are dried well before frying. Use quality cheese for the best melt and flavor.
