1
Cook the Eggs
In a non-stick skillet, heat over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes for sunny side up, or flip them for over-easy. Cook until the whites are set but yolks remain runny, or to your desired doneness.

2
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.

3
Cook the Grits
In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the grits. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thick. Add additional butter, salt, and pepper to taste.

4
Cook the Breakfast Meat
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon and sausage until crispy and browned, about 5-7 minutes for bacon and 8-10 minutes for sausage links. Drain on paper towels.
