Ingredients
  

2 medium potatoes, diced

4 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 medium onion, finely chopped

1 bell pepper, diced (any color)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for extra flavor

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: Start by boiling the diced potatoes in salted water for about 5-7 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft and fragrant.

      Add Potatoes: Stir in the cooked potatoes into the skillet with the onions and peppers. Season with salt, pepper, and optional smoked paprika or cayenne. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, allowing the potatoes to crisp slightly.

        Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until combined. Pour the eggs over the potato mixture in the skillet.

          Cook the Eggs: Gently stir the mixture to combine everything together. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the eggs are just set. Avoid overcooking to keep the eggs fluffy and soft.

            Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the scramble, letting it melt as the eggs finish cooking. Stir gently to incorporate the cheese.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped chives or parsley. Serve hot for a delicious, cheesy start to your day!
