Potato and Egg Hash

This is another fast lunch for us.  It is a throw-it-together-from-all-the-leftovers-in-the-fridge special at our house.  Somehow, when you put the eggs over the top, it makes it taste like something exciting and new :-).

Potato and Egg Hash
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.  Add and melt:
1-2 Tablespoons butter

Add and cook 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the potatoes are softened:
1 potato, chopped in 1/2 inch cubes (if I made too many baked potatoes, I use that here.  It cooks a little faster then)
1/4 chopped onion

Add:
1/2 cup or so of ham or leftover chicken, pork or beef, chopped in 1/2 inch cubes
1/2 cup frozen cut green beans (or a leftover vegetables or any other frozen veggie you like)

Cook, stirring frequently, until heated through.

Whisk:
2 eggs

Pour evenly over the mixture in the pan and cover.  Cook until the eggs are set - usually 5 minutes (It's a little guess-work for me on the time here, since I'm usually tending to kids and trying not to let it burn...)

This should be a fairly hearty meal for one.
