We made this all the time in Girl Scouts. We called it Pioneer Breakfast. A one pot meal that cleaned up well and everyone enjoyed it. Cook the bacon. Add chopped onions and cook till soft. Take out bacon and onion. Cook the potatoes till soft. Add bacon and onions. Add eggs and scramble till eggs are cooked to desired doneness. YUM.

I've been making this for years but never knew it was called Irish Eggs. I cube my potatoes small so they don't take so long to cook. Sliced tomatoes when they're in season and maybe toast and you are all set. Great for Sunday breakfast and super easy.

My wife and I eat a similar dish at least once a week, sometime for breakfast and also dinner. I use bacon, cooked first. Remove bacon from frying pan leave the grease, add potatoes and mixed peppers frying until lightly browned. Add the bacon back in, I use 2 eggs per person, well beaten. For fluffier eggs add a dollop of sour cream to the eggs and beat well. Making sure the frying pan is not to hot, add the eggs and fold them into the mixture in the frying pan, continue folding eggs until cooked but don't over cook them they should be moist. Serve hot.

I also nuke the potatoes first, meanwhile sauteeing onion and broccoli or other green veggie. Then I add the egg, milk and cheese, sometimes ham, also 1/3 tsp of ground chili pepper for flavor. If you do the prep the night before it's a quick, easy and nutritious breakfast for teens who may not eat again till they get home!

We called this "scrabble" and was a simple, cheap meal. You do need to cook the potatoes before anything else if they are raw. My mother used to use left over boiled potatoes (red or white) cut up. All she really needed to do was to brown them with the onion and whatever else she threw in. I find that if you dice the raw potatoes into 1/2" pieces, they cook through relatively fast and brown nicely in a non-stick skillet. I also add about a tablespoon of water and cover to steam them, if needed, after browning. This is one of my favorite comfort foods. Season with salt and pepper, maybe some garlic and sometimes I'll toss in a little Worcestershire sauce. This is one of those recipes that you can experiment with and truly make it your own.

I have been making something similar, but I start with a lb of breakfast sausage. Cook and drain and set aside cook the potatoes. Once the potatoes (or hash browns) are cooked, combine eggs, cheese, sausage, and peach mango salsa and cook until the eggs are done. The salsa makes it awesome.

Mmmmm, I love a good breakfast cassarole. I added 2 T. Of basil to give it more flavor, added another 1/2 onion, and added 2 more eggs. Be sure to add a about 1T. Of milk per egg while beating. Salt and pepper, of course, are also needed. The chunks of potato were too big for me, so I will be sure to chop them into smaller pieces next time.
