Directions: Let’s Get Sizzling!

1. Crisp Up That Bacon

Start by heating a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the diced bacon and let it cook until it’s almost crispy—just a bit underdone so it doesn’t overcook later. Scoop out the bacon, let it drain on paper towels, and wipe away most of the grease (but keep a little for flavor!).

2. Golden Potatoes: The Crispy Key

Return the skillet to the heat, add olive oil, and let it get hot. Toss in your diced potatoes in a single layer and let them sit undisturbed for a few minutes. The secret to those golden-brown, crispy edges? Patience! After the potatoes have browned on one side, stir them up and keep cooking for about 10-15 minutes until they’re tender and beautifully golden.

3. Season and Mix It Up

Once your potatoes are looking crispy, sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, and kosher salt. Mix in the cooked bacon and most of the green onions (save a little for garnish), and get everything evenly distributed.

4. Make Those Egg Pockets

Using a spoon, create four little “nests” in the potato mixture. Crack an egg into each nest, making sure they have enough space so the whites don’t run into each other. It’s okay if they’re not perfect—they’ll taste amazing either way!

5. Cheese It Up and Cover

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar over the hash, focusing on the potato and bacon mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to medium, and let everything cook until the eggs reach your preferred doneness. For slightly runny yolks, aim for about 3 minutes; for firmer eggs, give them a bit longer.

6. Garnish and Serve

Top your creation with freshly ground black pepper and those reserved green onions. Cut the hash into four portions and dig in! Got leftovers? Wrap them in a tortilla for an instant breakfast burrito the next day—trust us, it’s worth it.

Side Dish Ideas: More Than Just a Hash

If you’re feeling fancy, pair your hash with:

• Fresh fruit salad – Light, refreshing, and balances out the savory goodness.
• Buttered toast or bagels – Perfect for scooping up that runny yolk!
• Sautéed spinach or roasted tomatoes – Add some greens to round out the meal.
