2. Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
4. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned, flipping halfway through.

Making the Farmhouse Scramble:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk (or cream), salt, and pepper.
2. In a large skillet or griddle, heat a small amount of olive oil or butter over medium heat.
3. Pour egg mixture into the skillet.
4. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are set but still slightly moist. Do not overcook.
5. Stir in cheddar cheese, feta cheese, chives, and tomatoes.

Tips and Variations:

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the potatoes while roasting.
