Notes
Note: Your eggs will appear glassy when cooked. Your potatoes need to get heated through so make sure to increase oven temp as needed depending on your oven. Mines a newer stove which doesn't always cook too hot in the oven. So I did our eggs at 425°F.
These are a hearty dish and no toast will be needed to go with. Serve with a side of peameal bacon for an extra treat. Peameal bacon is decidedly cheaper to purchase as compared to regular bacon or sausage making it a more economical choice.
