... from a small red potato then slice into french fry like pieces with the skin still on. Put in a microwave safe bowl and sprinkle a teaspoon of water on them. Nuke for about a minute or minute and a half. Let them sit for a bit.

Fry a piece of bacon crisp or nuke it on a plate and pour the grease into a warm iron skillet with the heat on medium then pour the grease out into the trash onto the coffee grounds from the coffee you made earlier. Rinse and wipe the plate.

Pour any liquid off the potatoes into the sink and then add them to the greasy pan. Cook on medium for several minutes until they begin to brown on one side.

While they are cooking, beat an egg or two fluffy in that bowl with a bit of water. Chop some sliced onion into strings on the plate.

When the potatoes are golden on one side, add the onions and a big wad of medium hot chunky salsa and stir the mess together a few times. Continue cooking until onions are tender. Wipe the plate again.

Add egg and stir some more. Stop stirring. When egg is thoroughly done, turn the goop over, it should stick together pretty good. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon, garlic powder and cheese and allow the cheese to melt. Serve on the plate with unbuttered multi-grain toast, strawberry jam and coffee.

Think about how you could do this with the crumbs in the bottom of the bag of tortilla chips that you had intended to make nachos with. You'd have to cook the onions first then add the chip crumbs instead of potato. That would work. Maybe later in the week.
