Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash and dice the breakfast potatoes into small cubes. Slice the onion and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Onions

    In the same skillet with bacon fat (or add butter/olive oil if needed), add the sliced onion and sauté until caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Potatoes

    Add the diced breakfast potatoes to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese and Eggs

    Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the cooked potato mixture. Make two wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are set to your liking.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Crumble the cooked bacon over the skillet. Serve with toast and a side of fresh fruit.
