Description

A hearty and comforting skillet breakfast made with golden crispy potatoes, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted cheddar cheese, finished with fresh parsley for a balanced and satisfying bite.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 medium russet potatoes, diced into small cubes
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
  2. Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Reduce the heat slightly and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet with the potatoes.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and gently stir, folding the eggs slowly as they cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softly set.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and stir lightly until melted and creamy.
  7. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Cook the potatoes fully before adding the eggs to ensure crisp texture.
  • Stir the eggs gently to create soft curds.
  • Avoid high heat once the eggs are added to prevent dryness.
  • Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
