Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 medium potatoes
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into small, evenly-sized cubes, about half an inch each.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the potato cubes and sprinkle them with half of the salt. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and cooked through. You can pierce them with a fork to check for tenderness.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add milk, the remaining salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the same skillet. Allow it to melt completely.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, and let it sit, without stirring, for about 30 seconds until it starts to set around the edges.

Step 8

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges towards the center, turning them over softly, forming large curds. Continue to cook and gently stir until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet with the scrambled eggs.

Step 10

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and gently stir until the cheese melts and is evenly distributed.

Step 11

Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh chives, and serve immediately.
