Instructions

Prep the Ingredients: Wash, peel, and dice potatoes into small cubes. Chop the onion and bell peppers finely to ensure even cooking and texture in the scramble.
Cook the Potatoes: Heat olive oil or butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes in a single layer, season with salt, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender inside.
Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped onions and bell peppers with the potatoes and sauté together until the onions become translucent and softened, about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Whisk the Eggs: While the vegetables cook, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk vigorously with salt and black pepper until the mixture is frothy. This will ensure fluffy, light scrambled eggs.
Combine Everything: Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the sautéed vegetables and potatoes in the skillet. Gently fold and stir the eggs as they cook, allowing them to set softly without overcooking. Just before the eggs finish cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top to melt into the scramble.
Serve It Up: Remove the skillet from heat immediately once the eggs are softly cooked and cheese has melted. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired, and enjoy this comforting, delicious breakfast dish.

Notes

For crispier potatoes, soak diced potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch, then dry thoroughly.
Use any cheese variety you prefer, such as mozzarella or pepper jack, for different flavor profiles.
Add fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or cilantro as garnish to enhance freshness.
Adjust vegetable quantities or types according to taste; mushrooms or spinach can be great additions.
Cook eggs gently on medium-low heat to avoid tough or rubbery texture.
