The Ultimate Leftover Ham, Egg and Potato Biscuit Sandwich

Ingredients

4 biscuits (sliced in half)

4 large slices of leftover ham

4 slices pepper jack cheese

For Potato Pancakes:

3 cups leftover mash potatoes

3 scallions chopped

3 tablespoons vegetable oil (frying)

For the eggs:

8 eggs

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon salt/pepper

1 tablespoon sour cream

1 tablespoon chives

For Leftover Cranberry Mayo:

1/2 cup mayo

2 tablespoons cranberry sauce

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Make the potato pancakes by mixing scallions and leftover mashed potatoes. Then divide into four pancakes (make slightly bigger then bottom of biscuit) and fry in pan with oil two minutes per side. Since the mashed potatoes are already cooked they just need to be browned.

Fry the ham two minutes per side with a teaspoon of oil to reheat on medium. Set aside.

In the same pan, reheat ham slices and lower the heat. Add eggs and butter and slowly cook eggs until wet peaks form.

Remove from heat and add sour cream, chives and salt and pepper. Mix and set aside to make sandwich.

Combine all cranberry mayo ingredients.

To assemble the sandwich: spread one tablespoon of mayo mixture on bottom biscuit slice then add slice of ham and then potato pancake and top with eggs (divide between four sandwiches). Top with egg with cheese. Lastly, add another tablespoon mayo mixture on top biscuit slice and top the sandwich.
