My husband loves my breakfast potatoes. I am happy to share my recipe with you. I hope you enjoy it!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This hearty egg and potato breakfast has a few steps, but it is a very easy breakfast recipe. Breakfast bowls are very popular, and this will beat anything you'd find at your favorite breakfast restaurant. Onions and diced potatoes are cooked in butter until tender and browned. Then, cubed ham is fried to add heartiness and a savory touch. A hefty sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese and a big dollop of sour cream add a touch of decadence. Topped with an over-easy egg, it's a wonderful weekend breakfast, brunch idea, or breakfast for dinner option. This is an egg breakfast recipe you'll find yourself making again and again.
