Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs , whisked
  • 1 cup pre -cooked potato cubes (1/2-inch)
  • 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet over the potatoes.
  • Allow the base to set for 20 seconds, then use a spatula to gently fold the mixture, creating large curds.
  • Evenly distribute the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs while they are still slightly moist.

  • Transfer to a plate, season with salt and pepper, and garnish with minced chives.
