Additional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oil: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the potatoes.
- Cook potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak diced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking and pat dry.
- Use any cheese variety you prefer if you want to change the flavor profile.
- Fresh herbs like chives or cilantro can be used instead of parsley for garnish.
- Adjust seasoning as per your taste preferences.
