  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the drained potatoes in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Stir in optional chopped ham or bacon. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
  4. In a mixing bowl, crack 4 large eggs. Add a splash of milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the potato and meat mixture in the skillet. Stir gently and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until set but soft.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until melted.
