I was shocked at how much my family liked this! I cheated and used Ore Ida Potatoes (with onions and bell peppers). One word of advice, it needs spices, otherwise it is too bland. I added garlic salt and a touch of red pepper.

This is a nice base to start off with - you may want to add your own ingredients to spice it up a bit. I'd imagine there's a lot you could do to make this excellent. We used 2 russett potatoes instead of 4, and it was plenty.

My whole family loved this tasty, easy breakfast. I found the cooking times to be fine. However, I cooked the cubed potatoes in a covered dish in the microwave for 10 minutes and used smoked sausage, cubed instead of ham. It did need a bit more seasoning. Next time I'll try adding in some other ingredients. Rotel tomoates and green chiles might even add a nice touch!

I like the idea of the cast iron skillet, but the recipe was very bland. I used some hot sauce to spice it up after it cooked. I also used about 1/2 of the potatoes called for in the recipe.

This is a good basic recipe; very versatile. For additional flavor I added garlic and chopped green onions. Turned out very well.

A good recipe although not too special. I added some bell peppers for a distinct flavour and shredded some cheddar and mozzarella on the top before inserting it into the oven. My husband didn't like it, but as an expectant mother, this made a very healthy and filling breakfast recipe.

Perfectly good. I imagine I'll want this again some day. I cut the recipe in half. I whisked together the eggs, one drop of hot sauce (could have used two), onion powder and garlic powder. I tossed the potatoes (cooked in the microwave), ham, onion, and cubes of swiss cheese in a 8 in. round pie pan and cooked the whole thing in the oven for 10 min., topped with the cheese, and cooked 5 min. more.

I gave this recipe 5 stars because my entire family ate it - all six of us. It took a little longer to set in the middle. Nothing very exciting about it - but definately won me over!

Very good. We added mushrooms, garlic & green pepper though. Next time we're going to try & shred the potatoes & then drop into the boiling water for a few minutes, as I prefer shredded potatoes over cubed.

This was pretty good! I omitted the salt since ham is salty as is and I don't like to spend too much time on breakfast, so I replaced hash browns for the potatoes (which I crumbled) and added about a tbls of hotsauce and green onions for color.

Easy to make, and very tasty. I'm going to let my sister in on this recipe "secret" this weekend. She keeps asking me about it. Like all my favorite recipes, this one is low maintenance. I like to make it with a greek variation, too -- spinach, tomatoes, garlic and feta cheese. YUM

A different cooking method but these turned out good for us! I did add some chopped green bell pepper - which we love anyways but it added some nice color. This went great with our french toast! Thanks Jody!

Really good!! I used 5 med-small gold potatoes and that was too much. I had to add a lot of egg beaters to make up for it. I also added about 5-6 chopped up mushrooms and a whole onion instead of a half. I live at a high climate and I didn't think the potatoes were cooked enough after 5 min. but it was alright. I used sausage instead of ham, very good. Everyone in my family liked it, except for my sister. The next time I make this I am going to try a clove or 2 of garlic. :-)

After reading the other reviews I decided to use only two potatoes and add some cooked broccoli. I also made sure to add plenty of pepper so it wouldn't be too bland, and I used sharp Cheddar cheese. I was very pleased with how it turned out. I slid it out of the frying pan onto a round pizza pan and cut it with a pizza cutter. It was easy enough to make, tasted very good, and since there are only two of us, there's enough left for tomorrow. I would make this again.

This was a very good recipe. I had to impravise when it came to the cast iron skillet.. I used a regular skillet and then flipped the ingredients into a pie dish added the cheese and baked about 15-20 minutes at 325 degress. It was a hit with everyone! I have had weight loss surgery and some foods are hard for me to eat this sat very well with me... The only thing I would do different is make the CUBE size of the potatoes SMALL... I did mine med to large because the recipe did not really say! Next time instead of ham I think I might try adding Carne Adavoda (pork cooked in red chili)! Yummy!

I found this recipe to be just OK. I had substituted bacon for the ham. The recipe itself is fine but I have picky children. I did have to cook it longer than specified (just a few minutes). I think if I make this again, I will add some green bell pepper and garlic.

I must be out of my mind. I have absolutely no reason to cook tonight as I have leftovers from yesterday's party and the kids are sleeping at friends. However, after over indulging yesterday, I figured that hubby would like something light for dinner and this seemed to hit the spot for him. I added halved grape tomatos and my usual garlic and onion powders. Thank you Jody!
