Garbage in a Pan

It looks like it will be a busy Saturday so I am looking for something easy and satisfying for supper. The first time I made this dish one of the kids said it looked like table scraps all dumped in a skillet, but they loved it.

I start with enough potatoes for the family, peeled and cubed. Boil these till almost done and drain. While the potatoes are cooking, heat a little oil in a pan, a little chopped onion and a package of smoked sausage or kielbasa cut up small. I quarter, then slice mine. When the sausage is nice and brown, add the drained potatoes and cook till crisp. Because I have picky eaters in my house I caramelize in another pan, mushrooms, a little more onion, maybe some bell pepper if I have any, to add to mine on my plate.

When the sausage and potato mixture is done, sprinkle generously with shredded cheese and serve with a fried egg on top. Add biscuits and you have a meal fit for a lumberjack (or a houseful of hungry, hardworking kids after a busy day)

If you don't like fried eggs, scramble the eggs and mix them in with the sausage and potatoes.
