Farmer Jake's Breakfast Skillet

This is a quick and hearty breakfast that we have been making for years. We never gave a name to it, but thought that the above name would do it justice. Enjoy! What you need:

• 1lb. Pork Sausage
• 3-4 medium potatoes
• 1/2 small yellow onion (chopped)
• 4-6 eggs
• Salt & Pepper

Directions:

1. In large skillet, cook the sausage and onion.
2. Remove sausage and onion mixture. Shred the potatoes into hashbrowns and cook in the skillet with the sausage drippings.
3. When the hashbrowns are to your liking, add the sausage and onion mixture back in the skillet. Scramble up the eggs and create a hollow in the center of the skillet. Pour in the eggs and slowly mix them in with the sausage, onion, and hashbrowns.
4. Scramble entire mixture together and serve when eggs are done.

Total Cook Time: Approximately 30-35 minutes.
