For the Fried Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, add the potatoes, onions, salt and pepper. Stir until the potatoes are coated with the salt and pepper.

- To the pan, add the potato and onion mixture. Stir as the potatoes cook. Continue cooking until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned (about 20 minutes).

- Heat a medium size skillet on medium heat. Add butter. When it melts add the eggs. Stir the eggs with a spatula as they cook.
- Let cook until the eggs are thoroughly cooked (about 5 minutes). Set aside.
For the Breakfast Burrito Pitas:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut each pita pocket in half and gently open them up.
- Set the pita pockets upright in a small casserole dish, shallow oven-safe bowl, or bread loaf pan with the pitas leaning up against one another if necessary.
- Using a spatula or dinner knife gently spread the refried beans on the inside of each pita pocket.
- To the pita pockets, add cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, salsa, fried potatoes, and shredded cheese.
- Bake in a preheated oven (at 350 degrees F.) until the cheese melts. Serve warm with salsa.
