Potato-Egg Mash-up

This is one of my favorite breakfast foods if we have leftover potatoes. It's easy, yummy, and quick. Almost all ingredients are to a "that looks about right" amount.

Potato-Egg Mess
2 eggs (or one egg per person)
Leftover potatoes to suit
Summer sausage, diced, to suit (I do about 1 slice per egg)
Salt and Pepper to taste
A smidge of oil

1. Heat skillet over medium. Add eggs and scramble.
2. Add potato, sausage, and oil. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook until potatoes and sausage are heated through and potatoes are just slightly brown.
4. Enjoy!
