Here are the steps on how you make this fantastic potato recipe:

Recipe Step #1: Get Your Potatoes

Healthy Pan Potatoes

- 1-1.5 kg potatoes

- 1/4 cup butter

1. Peel all potatoes and rinse in water
2. Put the pan onto the stove and turn up to 4-5
3. Cut all potatoes into your choice of quarters, blocks, fries, or discs
4. Add potatoes into the frying pan
5. Cover pan, regularly turn potatoes over with a plastic spatula

A 'quick-cook' pan shouldn't need any butter but our pans need a bit. Turn heat down to a 4 turning potatoes over often to prevent any potato burning. Prepare egg mixture in between times of turning potatoes over.

Recipe Step #2: The 'Egg Mixture'

'Egg Mixture' Ingredients List

- 3-5 medium to large eggs

- 1/4 cup diced onions

- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

- 1/4-1/2 cup milk

- 1-2 Tbsp fined chopped pepperoni

Combining the 'Egg' mixture ingredients

1. Combine eggs in a mixing bowl and whisk
2. Add diced onions, pepper, milk and pepperoni
3. Mix egg mixture well

Continue turning over the potatoes in the pan. When the potatoes are cooked through and break apart easily(approx. 10-15 minutes) pour the egg mixture over all the potatoes. Mix around occasionally to allow the eggs to cook throughout the potatoes.

The bauern fruhstuck recipe steps #3-#5 are optional additions you can try(they do need to be done while continuing to turn over the potatoes). We have included them for some extra flavor and variety, and we are sure you and your family will enjoy any combination.

Recipe Step #3: Optional--Heinz Baked Beans In Tomato Sauce

1. Heat can of beans in a small pot on stove heat level 4-5
2. Remove from heat when cooked through(approx. 5 minutes)
3. Alternatively heat on high to a boil, occasionally stirring then remove

Recipe Step #4: Optional--Fried Onions, Mushrooms & Peppers

'Side Order' Ingredients

- 1/4 stick of butter

- 3 medium onions

- 1 cup sliced mushrooms

- 1 cup red & yellow peppers(optional)

Frying up the side order

1. Heat up frying pan on stove at a heat level of 4-5
2. Add butter to pan if needed(quick cook pan won't need it)
3. Turn over onions, mushrooms and peppers in pan
4. Remove from heat when well cooked through

Recipe Step #5: Optional--Adding Cheese

1. Grate 1/2 cup to 1 cup cheese of your choice
2. Sprinkle grated cheese over the potato and eggs & cover
