Everybody loves breakfast...well, most people do anyway. Sometimes we just need to eat something quick to get out the door. I have heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I would say that when I do eat breakfast, I have more energy throughout the morning. I am normally not a big breakfast eater. On the weekends though, it is easier to have a bigger breakfast, probably because it's a little later in the morning.
This particular recipe started about 20 years ago and has become a staple on Sunday morning and sometimes Saturday. It all started when we would get ready for church and Neenee was making breakfast and I was dressing our 5 kids. Soon the first would come down the stairs (shirt on backward). Then the next would come down (buttons on the front, supposed to be on the back). Neenee said, " Let's make a deal. You make breakfast and I'll dress the kids." I said, "Deal" and spicy cheesy potatoes was born. Through the years, there have been some variations but overall this recipe has a basic formula and you can create your own recipe from here.
