Ingredients

• 3 large russet potatoes
• 6 slices bacon
• 6 large eggs
• 2 medium bell peppers (assorted colors)
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and dice them into small, bite-sized cubes.

Step 2

Dice the bell peppers and yellow onion into small pieces, and set them aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once done, remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Leave 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the skillet.

Step 4

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the diced potatoes and cook them on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy (about 10-12 minutes).

Step 5

Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the other side, then sauté the diced bell peppers and onion until softened (about 4-5 minutes). Mix the potatoes and veggies together in the skillet, and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are well combined. Crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces and mix it into the eggs.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, and pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and vegetables in the skillet. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, then gently stir and fold until the eggs are fully scrambled and cooked through.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and allow it to melt for 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat. If desired, garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with toasted bread or fresh fruit on the side for a complete breakfast!
