Creating a delicious Cheesy Potato Egg Scramble can be straightforward by following these simple steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Dice the potatoes and onion. Set them aside to have everything ready for cooking.
2. Cook Potatoes: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10–12 minutes until they are tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally.
3. Add Onion: When the potatoes are almost done, add the diced onion to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
4. Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using. Make sure the eggs are well combined.
5. Add Eggs to Potatoes: Pour the egg mixture over the cooked potatoes and onions in the skillet.
6. Scramble: Gently stir the mixture, allowing the eggs to cook slowly. Cook for about 3–5 minutes, or until the eggs are just set and creamy.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs, allowing it to melt as you fold it into the scramble.
8. Garnish: Once everything is combined, remove from heat. If desired, garnish with fresh chives or parsley for an added touch of color and flavor.

By following these steps, you will achieve a perfect Cheesy Potato Egg Scramble that’s both delightful and satisfying!
