Instructions
Follow these straightforward instructions to bring a little bit of my kitchen into yours.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Stir occasionally, cooking until they are golden brown and tender, about 10-12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes in the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to low and gently stir the eggs with a spatula, ensuring even cooking. Cook until the eggs are just set, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the scramble and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the cheese is melted, garnish with fresh parsley if using, and serve immediately.
This dish reminds me of the patience and confidence I learned in the kitchen with my abuela, stirring pots and perfecting flavors. Don’t rush—let the flavors meld together for a truly rewarding breakfast experience.
