Lets Make it together
Prep the Ingredients: Start by washing and peeling your potatoes. Dice them into small cubes for even cooking. Chop your onions and bell peppers while you’re at it—this is where the magic begins!
Cook the Potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add your diced potatoes and season with salt. Cook until golden brown and tender, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally for even browning.
Add Vegetables: Toss in the chopped onions and bell peppers after the potatoes are nice and crispy. Sauté until onions turn translucent and fragrant. Your kitchen will smell amazing at this point!
Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, crack open your eggs and whisk them together with salt and pepper until frothy. This adds airiness that transforms your scrambled eggs into fluffy perfection.
Combine Everything: Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Gently fold everything together until the eggs are cooked through but still soft. Add cheese during this step for melty goodness!
Serve It Up!: Remove from heat once everything is cooked through—your potato egg scramble is ready! Serve hot with fresh herbs or extra cheese if desired; enjoy every delicious bite!
