Print Recipe

A hearty one-pan breakfast skillet with crispy bacon, golden potatoes, and eggs cooked to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 1/2 lbs potatoes (about 4 medium), diced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheddar-jack)
  • 4–6 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crisp. Remove bacon to a plate, leaving about 1–2 tbsp bacon grease in the skillet (discard excess if needed).
  2. Add diced potatoes to the skillet and cook 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and mostly tender.
  3. Stir in onion and red bell pepper. Cook 4–5 minutes until softened. Add garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and chili powder (if using).
  4. Mix the cooked bacon back into the skillet. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Use a spoon to make wells in the potato mixture and crack eggs into each well.
  6. Cover with a lid (or foil) and cook 6–10 minutes, until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your liking.
  7. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use a cast iron skillet for even cooking.
  • Adjust spice levels to your preference.
  • For crispier potatoes, cook uncovered longer.
