Easy Bauernfruhstuck (German Farmer'S Breakfast Skillet)

• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 (24 ounce) bag o'brien frozen potatoes
• 4 -6 tablespoons chopped onions (fresh or frozen)
• 1 medium green bell pepper, roughly chopped (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 sausage patties, pre-cooked and roughly chopped (I use Jimmy Dean, or may use ham or bacon)
• 4 -6 tablespoons chopped fresh tomatoes (optional)
• 6 eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk (or water)
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• snipped chives (optional)

1. Heat skillet on medium heat with the olive oil.
2. Add frozen potatoes in a single layer. Cook 6 minutes, turn, and continue cooking another 6 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the chopped onions, bell peppers, and the butter. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pan, until onions are softened and peppers are almost done.
4. Reduce heat to low; stir in the chopped sausage (or ham or bacon), and the tomatoes, if using.
5. In a small bowl whisk eggs, milk, and the salt & pepper together. Add the chives, if using.
6. Pour egg mixture over potatoes, stirring to incorporate. Cook for a few minutes more, stirring occasionally, until eggs are done.
7. Sprinkle with cheese and snipped chives.
8. Serve with fresh fruit and your favorite beverage.
9. Note: Leftovers, if any, are wonderful--makes a tasty breakfast wrap!
