Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  2. Step 2: Toss in the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
  3. Step 3: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Step 4: Pour the whisked eggs over the potato and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Gently stir to combine everything.
  5. Step 5: Once the eggs start to set, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese is melted.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
