pan fry
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon butter. When butter foams, add the drained potatoes in a single layer. Let cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes to develop a golden crust.

add aromatics & finish
Stir potatoes, add diced onion and red bell pepper. Season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 6–8 minutes until potatoes are nicely browned and onions are soft. If potatoes begin to stick, reduce heat slightly and add a splash of water. Stir in chopped parsley if using. Keep warm while preparing eggs and assembling sandwiches.

make scrambled eggs
Crack 6 eggs into a medium bowl. Add 3 tablespoons whole milk, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Whisk until homogeneous and slightly frothy. In a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter until foaming. Pour in egg mixture and let it sit for 10–15 seconds. Using a rubber spatula, gently push eggs from the edges toward the center in sweeping motions, forming soft curds. Continue folding occasionally until eggs are mostly set but still slightly glossy, 2–3 minutes total. Remove from heat (they will finish setting off the heat).

prepare croissants & cheese
Preheat oven broiler or toaster oven to low broil. Split croissants horizontally. Arrange bottom halves on a baking sheet. Divide shredded cheddar evenly among 4 croissant bottoms (about 1/4 cup each). Spoon warm scrambled eggs onto cheese-topped bottoms (divide eggs evenly). Top eggs with 2 cooked bacon strips per sandwich. Place croissant tops over fillings. Slide baking sheet under broiler for 30–45 seconds (or place in toaster oven at 350°F/175°C for 3–4 minutes) just until cheese melts and tops are warmed—watch closely to avoid burning.
