Description
A warm and comforting one-pan breakfast featuring crispy golden potatoes, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted cheddar cheese, perfect for busy mornings or relaxed brunches.
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup cooked turkey or beef sausage, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup green onions or chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Place diced potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10–15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add potatoes and spread evenly. Cook undisturbed for a few minutes, then stir and continue cooking for 5–7 minutes until golden and crispy.
- If using sausage, add it to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until eggs are soft and fully cooked.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top. Cover and let sit for 2–3 minutes until melted.
- Remove from heat, garnish with green onions or chives, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best texture.
- Let potatoes sit undisturbed to achieve crispiness.
- Customize with vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
- Swap cheddar with mozzarella, gouda, or pepper jack.
- Add a splash of milk when reheating to prevent dryness.
