I make something similar - a potato omelet we call 'em. I quarter a
potato lengthwise and slice each quarter into eighth inch slices or
slightly bigger. I fry them until they are golden - in about a half inch
of oil. Then I put the potatoes in a hot skillet in which a bit of
butter and oil has been warming up. I pour over the potatoes two or
three eggs which have been scrambled and toss the potatoes until they
all have some egg on them. This should not be really eggy. There is
just enough egg to hold the potatoes together. I smoosh (yes smoosh!)
the potatoes down a bit with a spatula and let it cook on medium to low
heat. Then I flip it over to let the other side cook. Voila.

This is my son's favorite breakfast. We used to add bits of ham before
the DH decided he didn't want to eat pork anymore. :-(
