    3 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced

    1 tsp salt
    Ramps, cleaned and cut in pieces
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    Fry sausage.
    Beat egg, add milk and salt and set aside.
    In a 9 x 13 baking dish that has been well-buttered, layer potatoes, ramps and sausage.
    You can use two layers each if you wish.
    Pour egg/milk mixture over the sausage, potatoes and ramps.
    Cover and bake until potatoes and ramps are done.
    Uncover, add cheese.
    Return to oven and bake until the cheese has melted and browns.

    6 ramps, thinly sliced
    5 slices cooked bacon, chopped
    Salt and pepper to taste

    Heat bacon drippings in a large skillet over medium high heat; cook and stir potatoes in the hot drippings until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
