Cheesy Potato Egg Scramble is a hearty one-pan dish featuring crispy golden potatoes, fluffy scrambled eggs, and gooey melted cheese. It’s a warm, comforting meal perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an easy dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium potatoes, diced small
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk or cream (optional)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or blend)
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup diced onions
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers
  • Optional: 1/2 cup baby spinach
  • Optional: 1/4 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
  • Optional: herbs like parsley or chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add diced potatoes and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender.
  3. If using onions or bell peppers, add them halfway through cooking the potatoes to soften.
  4. While potatoes cook, whisk eggs with milk (if using), salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  5. Reduce heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the cooked potatoes in the skillet.
  6. Stir gently, scraping the bottom of the pan as the eggs begin to set.
  7. When the eggs are almost fully cooked, sprinkle in shredded cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
  8. Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Chop potatoes small for quicker, more even cooking.
  • Use frozen diced potatoes if short on time—just thaw and pat dry first.
  • Customize with veggies, meats, or different cheeses to suit your taste.
  • Cook eggs gently on low heat to keep them soft and creamy.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
