German Farmer's Breakfast

Note: This is a great way to use leftover ham. Or you can fry bacon or sausage to crumble into it. Either way, it's delicious any time of day or night.

Ingredients:

Peeled and shredded potatoes (enough to fill the bottom of your skillet)

1 cup diced ham (or sausage or bacon, fried and crumbled)

6 large eggs (beaten with 2 tablespoons milk, salt & pepper)

5 slices American cheese (or shredded cheddar cheese if preferred)


Directions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees for baking.

On top of stove, in large skillet over medium heat, add 1-2 tsp. vegetable oil. When hot, add shredded potatoes, salt and pepper to personal taste. Fry until potatoes begin to brown, turning and separating frequently. Add diced ham (or crumbled sausage or bacon). Continue frying until potatoes are at desired brownness. Add beaten eggs and stir all ingredients to mix thoroughly. Still on top of stove, cook until bottom of eggs "set". After eggs have set, put skillet in oven until top part of eggs are set. Remove skillet from oven. Tear cheese into strips and place strips on top of eggs, covering at least 90% of surface. Place skillet back in oven and bake until cheese has melted and begun to bubble. Remove and serve with toast or biscuits, and additional slices of bacon or ham if desired.
