For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the potatoes while cooking. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a heavy-bottomed skillet instead. Just be sure to use enough cooking oil to prevent the potatoes from sticking. Customize this recipe to your liking by adding other vegetables, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the potatoes or use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar.
