Notes
Leftover or microwaved baked potatoes give the best texture since they crisp easily.
For baked eggs create small wells in the hash crack eggs inside and cover so they steam gently.
Tillamook Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack adds a different melt and flavor profile.
Skip the eggs if you want a simpler potato and sausage skillet.
A cast iron skillet creates the crispiest potatoes and deepest browning.
