That looks very good and filling! I love all three things, especially potatoes and onions sauteed together, yum! This would be nice with some thick French or Italian bread toasted w/butter and jam. Thanks for the recipe!

I love to make things like this. I like to bake my potatoes in the microwave first. It really cuts down on cooking time. In VA we have a frugal, family friendly resteraunt chain. They cut up their left over baked potatoes and fry golden brown and serves this on their vegie bar.

I often make this for my family. We add our own special touches, of course.

2 lb potatoes .76 (10 lb for $3.79)
bacon drippings FREE (leftover and saved up in the fridge)
onions and bell peppers $1 (or free in the summer)
6 eggs .55 (eggs run between .88 and 1.25/ dozen here, depending on the week)
minced garlic, hot sauce, salt and pepper .05
4 oz shredded cheese (sprinkled over the whole pan) .60 (bought in bulk)
flour tortillas .25 (bought in bulk at .25/dozen and frozen)


Even though prices have gone up quite a bit since this thread was originally posted, it still comes out to about less than $3.25 for breakfast or dinner for my whole family.
