Eggs

Breakfast Potatoes

Method

Cooking the Potatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and dice the potatoes into small cubes. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden and crispy.

Cooking the Meat

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a separate pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cooking the Eggs and Toast

  1. 4

    Cook the Eggs

    In the same pan used for the bacon, crack the eggs and cook them to your desired doneness (sunny side up, over easy, etc.).

  2. 5

    Toast the Bread

    While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

Plating

  1. 6

    Serve

    On a plate, serve the eggs alongside the crispy bacon and breakfast potatoes. Add the toasted bread on the side.
