Creating your Cheesy Potato Egg Scramble is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prep the Potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes to ensure even cooking.
2. Cook the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, stirring occasionally.
3. Add Onions: Once the potatoes are nearly cooked, add the chopped onion (and bell pepper, if using) to the skillet. Sauté together for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
4. Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
5. Combine Eggs and Potatoes: Pour the whisked eggs directly into the skillet over the potato mixture. Allow the eggs to set slightly along the edges, then gently stir to scramble them together with the potatoes and vegetables.
6. Add Cheese: As the eggs start to cook but are still slightly runny, sprinkle in the shredded cheese evenly over the scramble. Stir gently to incorporate the cheese as it melts.
7. Finish Cooking: Continue cooking until the eggs are fully cooked to your liking, stirring occasionally. Remember not to overcook the eggs; they should be soft and creamy.
8. Garnish: Once done, remove from heat, and if desired, garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and color.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Plate the Cheesy Potato Egg Scramble immediately while hot and enjoy the cheesy goodness!
