Available via Amazon.com | This recipe is from the classic cookbook titled Minnie Pearl Cooks (Minnie Pearl, Nicholstone Bookbindery, 1970). Minnie Pearl was a country comedienne who was famous for her appearances at the Grand Ole Opry and on the TV show Hee Haw. Minnie's actual name was Sarah Ophelia Colley Cannon. Her cook book is chuck-full of good county cookin' recipes which includes a nice variety of breakfast dishes. |
Minnie Pearl didn't specify whether the eggs should be broken and scrambled. For you're best shot at evenly cooked eggs, Mr Breakfast recommends beating the eggs with 3 or 4 Tablespoons of milk before adding them to the potatoes and creating a delicious scramble.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank Mr Breakfast for this recipe.

Super cheesy and delicious. In fact, maybe too much cheese. I'd cut that back a quarter of cup next time. BTW... also works with hash browns in place of cubed potatoes.

We've made this before where you just crack the eggs over the potatoes and have them cook like fried eggs instead of scrambling them. We've never sprinkled bacon over it though... anxious to try that.
