Eggs were 97¢ a dozen at Jewel, the “hash browns” were those nasty Mr. Potato Head frozen shapes on the Face Book Freebie and the Farmer John pork links were a frozen clearance at Dollar Tree for 25¢ for a package of 8.

The trick with the potatoes is to let them thaw completely, smash them while still in the bag and pour them into a frying pan with the oil/grease from the sausages.  Turns ’em into tasty hash browns.
