Fried Potatoes and Eggs

"This was one of my favorite dishes as a child. After I was grown, my mother told me it was just her way of "stretching" leftover baked potatoes when there weren't enough to go around. I am guessing on the times."

  1. I absolutely LOVE this recipe, in my family, it's known as taters eggs and bread. My biggest "critique" for lack of a better word, is to take out the onion (I have 3 picky little eaters) and I use a couple pieces of semi stale bread (whole pieces that are cubed up). I fry the taters then whisk the eggs with a splash of milk. RIGHT as I'm getting ready to add the eggs to the pan of taters, I throw the "cubed" bread in the egg mixture, give it a quick mix and add it to the skillet. The bread pieces are a favorite in my house, they soak up some of the egg and it's SO delicious. Yumyum, thank you for helping me decide to make breakfast for dindin tonight!
