One Skillet Eggs, Ham and Potatoes image

My Grandma Mabel Kennedy Sullivan said this was a favorite recipe of her husband Frank "Barney" Sullivan & in the summer & fall they always served this with home canned chili sauce, very thin slices of onions, thick slices of tomatoes, toast & jam. Great Grandma Sullivan use to fry in bacon grease, my grandmother liked to use...
