### š³ How to Make Cheesy Ham and Egg Skillet Potatoes
#### 1. **Cook the Potatoes**
Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10ā12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until theyāre golden brown and fork-tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.
#### 2. **Add Ham and Veggies**
Stir in the chopped onion, bell pepper (if using), and diced ham. Cook for another 5ā6 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the ham is lightly browned.
#### 3. **Add the Eggs**
Make small wells in the skillet mixture and carefully crack an egg into each. Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook for 4ā6 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are done to your preference.
#### 4. **Top with Cheese**
Sprinkle shredded cheese over everything. Cover again just long enough to melt the cheese.
#### 5. **Serve and Garnish**
Remove from heat. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or green onions for a fresh finish. Serve hot, straight from the skillet.
