One Skillet Eggs, Ham and Potatoes image

My Grandma Mabel Kennedy Sullivan said this was a favorite recipe of her husband Frank "Barney" Sullivan & in the summer & fall they always served this with home canned chili sauce, very thin slices of onions, thick slices of tomatoes, toast & jam. Great Grandma Sullivan use to fry in bacon grease, my grandmother liked to use...

This dish was just okay. I think I would have liked it more if the potatoes were roasted instead of fried.

I'm not a big fan of ham, but I really enjoyed this dish! The eggs and potatoes were cooked perfectly and the flavors were great.

This recipe was a disappointment. The eggs were overcooked and the ham was dry. I won't be making this again.

The potatoes took a little longer to cook than I expected, but other than that, this recipe was perfect! My husband and I both enjoyed it.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more seasoning next time.

I love ham and potato dishes, and this one was no exception! The eggs added a nice richness and the potatoes were perfectly crispy. I will definitely be making this again.
