Hadn't given my boys a full Sunday breakfast in a while, this was their treat...growing up so fast but still my babies. NOTE:DO NOT SALT, THE SAUSAGE AND CHEESE ADD PLENTY. SALT POTATOES only if sitting over night and make sure to rinse well and drain off the excess water. I actually dried mine in the salad spinner.
