Ingredients
  

Base Hash:
  • 6 slices bacon chopped
  • 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes diced small
  • 1/2 yellow onion chopped
  • 1/2 red bell pepper chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika optional
  • 4 large eggs
Optional Add-ins:
  • Shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey Jack
  • Sliced green onions or chives
  • Hot sauce or sriracha
  • Diced jalapeños for spice

Method
 

Crisp the Bacon:
  1. Place chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Cook until the bacon turns crispy, about 6–8 minutes.
  3. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, but leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.
Cook the Veggies:
  1. Add diced potatoes to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Cook the potatoes for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden and tender.
  3. Stir in the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for another 5 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Add the Eggs:
  1. Create four wells in the potato mixture.
  2. Crack an egg into each well.
  3. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
Finish and Serve:
  1. Sprinkle the cooked bacon back over the hash.
  2. Garnish with green onions, cheese, or hot sauce if desired.
  3. Serve hot, straight from the skillet.
