Our favorite is a "farmhouse hash." Chop some bacon and fry until crispy.
Remove from pan and leave a little bacon grease behind. Slice or chop your
pre-boiled potatoes and brown them in the pan. Add green onions and perhaps
chunked red bell peppers if you like. Scramble some eggs in a separate pan.
Add the scrambled eggs and bacon to the potatoes and serve. It's Sunday
night supper around here.
