    Begin by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into small cubes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed potatoes and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.

    Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.

    While the potatoes are cooking, dice the onion and bell pepper. Add them to the skillet with the potatoes and sauté for another 5 minutes until they are soft.

    5

    Crack the 6 eggs into a bowl and whisk them together. Pour the eggs over the potato mixture in the skillet.

    6

    Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the eggs. Cover the skillet with a lid.

    7

    Cook on low heat for about 5-7 minutes, until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted.
