Step 1
Cut potatoes into thin matchsticks, about 1/8-inch thick. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Add potatoes in a single layer and cook without stirring until golden on the bottom, 5 minutes. Toss and cook another 3–4 minutes until crispy.
Step 4
Add ham and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Sprinkle cheese over top and remove from heat for 30 seconds to begin melting.
Step 5
Push the potato mixture to the sides of the skillet. Crack eggs into the center and scramble gently until whites set but yolks are still soft, 2–3 minutes.
Step 6
Fold eggs into the potato mixture. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately from the skillet.
