Prep the potatoes, then add to a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are not quite fork tender, we are going to fry them soon. Drain potatoes.
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of bacon fat and the butter in a large non stick pan, when hot, add the onion and drained potatoes.
Cover and cook, turning occasionally, season with salt and pepper as desired, until tender and starting to brown.
Crack in the eggs and sprinkle on the cheese, mix together, cover.
Cook until the egg is set and the cheese is melted in.
Serve and enjoy with sides of your choice.
Low cost per serving.
Variants: 1. Fry up some bacon, crumble, and add that. 2. Use a 4 cheese blend in place of Cheddar.
