Egg, Sausage, Potato Breakfast

Ingredients:
2 Medium potatos
4 Eggs
1 smoked sausage roll, we use the hot and spicy one
chopped onion
vegetable oil

Directions:
Peel or clean the potatos and then chop into small cubes.  Brown in pan with vegetable oil and onion.  Slice the sausage and add to the potatos.  Cook until the potatos are soft and the sausage is browned.  Remove from pan into bowl or place lined with paper towel.   In same pan make scrambled eggs.   Once eggs are cooked add potato and sausage mixture back to pan and mix completely.  

This works great for breakfast or dinner.  We do use teh hot and spicy sausage for a little added flavor but you could use the milder ones if needed.
