Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 1/2 cups diced ham
  • 1/2 cup green pepper diced
  • 1 pkg diced potatoes 20 ounces
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms (I use the kind in the jar)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese
  • 6 eggs

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add ham and green pepper and cook until the pepper begins to soften, and the ham begins to brown, 3-5 minutes.
    1 1/2 cups diced ham, 1/2 cup green pepper, 2 tbsp canola oil
  • Add potatoes, salt and pepper; cook for 15 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes.
    1 pkg diced potatoes, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper
  • Stir in mushrooms and sprinkle cheese evenly over entire potato mixture.
    1/2 cup mushrooms, 1/2 cup grated cheese
  • Make an indentation and break an egg, do this one at a time until all 6 eggs have been added (the ham and potatoes will just get in your way if you try to make all the indentations at once). Cover and cook until eggs are cooked through, about 10 minutes. 
    6 eggs

Notes

I use a 12 inch ceramic non-stick skillet that I bought at Walmart for just over $21 (not an affiliate link, just showing you what I use).
In order to get the egg whites cooked all the way our egg yolks come out over hard, if you want scrambled eggs, over easy eggs, or sunny side up eggs you will need to cook them separately and add them on top or serve them on the side. 
An additional pinch of salt and pepper can be added to the top of the eggs, if desired.
Since the dish does not get stirred after the eggs are added you may need to turn the heat down so the potatoes and ham don't get burnt, you want them to be a nice golden brown.
