Spam Breakfast Hash (untried)

 From Back Roads Florida ..

A Florida Cracker friend invited me to go to his family reunion near Hilliard in Nassau County.  After a fun day of feasting and visiting, we spent the night at his Aunt's house.  In the morning she made us a Spam breakfast.  She said her family used to make this a lot in the final years of the Great Depression.  She had a Spam cook book, believe it or not.

12 ounce can of Spam Classic, diced into cubes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

In a cast iron skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.  Cook onions 3 minutes, then add potatoes and cook 7 to 10 minutes until nicely browned.  Stir in the Spam, red and green peppers, and cook until thoroughly heated and browned.  Add parsley and pepper.  Poached or fried egg optional.
