German Farmer's Breakfast (Bauernfrühstück)

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut peeled potatoes into small cubes. Boil in salted water over high heat for 8 minutes until fork-tender, then drain completely.

2. 2

   Finely chop the onion and dice the cooked ham into uniform small pieces.

3. 3

   Melt half of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and ham, cooking for 4 minutes until the onion softens.

4. 4

   Add drained potatoes and remaining butter to the skillet. Pan-fry over medium-high heat for 7 minutes until potatoes turn crispy and golden.

5. 5

   In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, a pinch of salt, and black pepper until smooth.

6. 6

   Lower heat to medium-low. Pour egg mixture over potatoes and fold gently for 3 minutes until eggs are softly set and still creamy.

   Remove skillet from heat. Top generously with fresh chives and serve immediately.
