Farmer's Breakfast (Bauernfrühstück)
Ingredients
- 3 large potatoes, peeled and quartered lengthwise
- 3 tablespoons bacon fat or olive oil, divided
- 2 cups roughly chopped green and white onions
- 2 cups roughly chopped bell peppers
- 1-2 cups chopped ham
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 4 eggs, whisked
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in a saucepan of lightly salted water for 10 to 15 minutes until just cooked (test for doneness). Drain, rinse with cold water to cool. Cut into 1 inch squares. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons bacon fat or olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions and bell peppers. Increase the heat to high. Brown the onions and bell peppers, stirring frequently, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Push the vegetables to the side of the pan, add the potatoes and the remaining 1 tablespoon bacon fat (or olive oil) to the pan. Brown the potatoes for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Sprinkle on salt to taste as you stir.
- Add the ham to the potatoes and cook, stirring frequently until the ham is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Mix all of the vegetables, potato and ham together and mix in the parsley.
- Add the eggs, stirring to distribute the eggs among the vegetables and ham. As soon as eggs begin to firm up, remove from heat.
