Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium russet potatoes peeled and 1" diced

Instructions
 

  • In a large deep skillet add potatoes and enough cold water to cover. Turn burner to HIGH, bring to a boil, add 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to MED or MED LOW to maintain a consistent boil. Cook until fork tender about 7-10 minutes.

Stir to distribute the seasoning and then cook stirring occasionally until ham and vegetables start to get some browned spots about 7-10 minutes.
  • Chop up eggs into bite sized pieces with wooden spoon or silicone spatula. Then, stir into ham, potato and pepper mixture. Cook for another 30 seconds until eggs are warmed through. Serve warm.
