Now, the Cheeseparer's cheapo recipe of the week, an old family favorite, known by the German side of the family as "Hoppel-Poppel." We just call it fried potatoes with stuff.

Boil a medium large potato per person. Do not peel.

When cooked, let cool. Add some chopped bacon to a large skillet. Any kind of bacon will do.
While the bacon is frying, chop some onion, again, proportional to the number of servings.
Add the onion. While the onion is cooking, peel and chop the potatoes into about 1/2 inch cubes, roughly. You may want to add a bit more fat, either canola oil, bacon grease or even butter, your choice.
Add the potatoes. Chop some tomato, a few cherry tomatoes will do. Add them to the skillet and salt and pepper everything. When the potatoes are nice and brown, add one slightly beaten egg per person to the skillet and stir around. Top the skillet with some chopped parsley and chives if you are feeling virtuous, and we hope that you are.

Sprinkle a little grated cheddar over all. A sprinkling of paprika if you like.

Serve with whole grain bread and a salad, again if you are feeling virtuous. This is good cheap rib-sticking food. And it tastes good. Bon appetit!
