Ingredients

• 4 pieces Tostada shells
• 2 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 slices Bacon
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Diced red onion
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 large Lime

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into small 1/2-inch cubes.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the cubed potatoes.

Step 3

Season the potatoes with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a separate skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Step 5

Carefully wipe out the bacon skillet, leaving a small amount of the bacon drippings. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook sunny-side up (or to your preferred doneness). Remove and set aside.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the tostada shells on a baking sheet and sprinkle a bit of shredded cheddar cheese onto each. Warm the shells in the oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Step 7

Assemble the tostadas by layering the crispy potatoes on the cheesy tostada shells. Add two slices of bacon per tostada, then carefully place a cooked egg on top.

Step 8

Garnish each tostada with diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream. Add a spoonful of salsa and slices of avocado to each tostada.

Step 9

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for added brightness. Serve immediately and enjoy!
