Potato, Egg and Cheese Skillet


We loved this! It started out as a recipe from Kraft, but it needed a little help, so we tweaked it and were quite pleased with how it turned out. Served with grape juice, it was perfect.
Recipe:
3 T melted butter
1 pkg dry Ranch seasoning
3 med-lg potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly
1 T oil
6 eggs, beaten
salt
pepper
2-3 slices of thick sliced ham, diced
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (or whatever you cheese you like or have on hand, I used white cheddar, and that was awesome)
Toss the potatoes with the melted butter and Ranch seasoning. Stirring until well coated. Heat the oil in a large skillet, over med heat. Pour seasoned potatoes into the skillet. Cover and cook until browned and fork tender, stirring often to avoid sticking (about 15 min). Generously season the eggs with the salt and pepper and pour over potatoes, top with diced ham and cover. Cooking until the eggs are set, do not stir (about 8-10 min). Sprinkle with cheese and cover again, cooking until melted.
This is a good one to mix it up with. You could substitute the ham for cooked sausage or bacon. Try a different seasoning packet with the potatoes. Whatever sounds good. This was really easy and really good. Perfect for a busy weeknight!
