I bake an extra potato during the week and toss it in the fridge for Sunday's breakfast.
Peel it and grate it up with a cheese grater. Toss and brown it in the oiled skillet. Works good.

My Mom could ruin a piece of meat with the best of them. Seems like it was a generational thing because my mother-in-law did too. I think those people brought up in the Great Depression were afraid of spoiled meat so they would cook the life out of it.
My Dad would also use left over baked potatoes to make hash browns, more like home fries really. He would slice it and put it in the bacon grease and brown them. It's not for everyone but it sure brings back memories.
This helped mine, I still pretty much follow it, adjusted to my stove and tastes, it really does work. In fact, if you go back in this thread, you can see how I did mine pretty much the same way.

Looking for a Wagner Sidney O ..or Griswold 10 inch pan....where’s the best place to look. I am starting my new obsession.....
You looking for already restored and over priced?see EBay
If you do the work yourself yard sales can provide saveable stuff for pennies
Scored me a Wagner Sidney O ....#5 egg pan off eBay. Need a little cleaning but not much.
What are you guys using for a brush when you need to clean the pan after cooking with it ?
And what kind of oil you using after you clean the pan from cooking ? Crisco ?
When I'm cleaning my pans I just get them hot, tip in a cup of water, give them a light brush with a nylon dish brush, then tip it all out, back on the heat, quick dry with some paper towel then I dip the paper towel in the chip pan and wipe it around, leave it to heat for a wee bit then turn off the heat.
Is it lazy? Yup.
But I've been doing it that way as long as I can remember, and my cast iron gets used most days.

That's almost exactly what I do except that I keep a small tub of lard to coat the pan after it dries. I like the coat that lard gives the pan.
Here's a little 6” #3 I often use for eggs. I think it's a Lodge. It was my grandmother's.

Egg and cheese burrito is a staple breakfast for me. Most of the time there's not much to scrub but the water and brush do a fine job.
I've been using a wok brush on the cast iron, carbon steel & wok. Seems to work without taking off my seasoning ..
