Ingredients

Scale

  • 6 slices center-cut bacon, diced

  • 2 tsp olive oil

  • 1 1/2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and diced small (about 3/4 inch chunks)

  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • 1/3 cup minced chives or chopped green onions

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar

  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until almost crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. Cook the potatoes: Drain the bacon grease and wipe the skillet clean. Add olive oil and heat. Add potatoes in a single layer and cook without stirring for a few minutes to get a nice sear. Flip and cook until browned and nearly tender, about 10–15 minutes.

  3. Season the potatoes: In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle potatoes with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir to combine.

  4. Add bacon and chives: Mix in the cooked bacon and chives or green onions evenly throughout the potatoes.

  5. Create egg nests: Move the potato mixture to form 4 small wells in the skillet. Crack one egg into each well.

  6. Cook the eggs: Cover the skillet and cook until eggs reach your desired doneness. For runny yolks, cook until whites are set but yolks are jiggly; for firmer eggs, cook longer.

  7. Finish and serve: Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and fresh black pepper. Divide into 4 portions and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Even cooking: Cut potatoes into uniform pieces so they cook evenly.

  • Crispier bacon: Use center-cut bacon for less grease and crispier texture.

  • Add flavor: A pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes can add a nice kick.

  • Meal prep: Make a double batch of potatoes and store cooked bacon separately for a quick breakfast all week.
