Breakfast Potato Skillet

This is something that I like to make for dinner that is just thrown together, no recipe.  I have made it at the cabin before I think.  It can be a breakfast, lunch, or dinner.  I use it as a dinner a lot.  Excellent with a yummy smoothie on the side.

Chop 3-5 potatoes into bite sized pieces and coat lightly in oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Cook potatoes as a single layer on a cookie sheet for 45-60 minutes at about 400-425 degrees (just until they are slightly browned and crispy.) Turning once during cooking time.

Close to the end of the cooking time for potatoes, brown some ground sausage, we love the maple flavor.  Sometime I only use half a roll of sausage and freeze the other half to make this later.  Once the sausage is cooked, stir the baked potatoes into the pan with the sausage.  Crack 6-7 eggs on top of the potato and sausage mixture.  Stirring constantly, coat the potatoes and sausage in the eggs.  Once eggs are cooked, take off heat and sprinkle a bunch of cheese on top. Then put a lid on the skillet and let the cheese melt.

The boys like to eat this with ketchup, we also like chipotle hot sauce on it.  For added flavor you could chop up some onion and peppers to add to the sausage while it's cooking.
