Ingredients

  • 4 strips bacon
  • 4 russet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 onion diced
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • ¼ tsp ground pepper
  • ¼ cup water
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup shredded cheese or more

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced bacon. Slow the bacon to cook, moving it every couple of minutes so it cooks evenly. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper lined bowl or plate, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
  • Add the diced onion and saute for 2 minutes.
  • Add the diced potatoes along with the seasonings. Mix until everything is evenly coated and then allow the potatoes to cook, in an even layer, untouched for 3 to 4 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons of water and then cover the skillet so the potatoes can cook through.
  • Cook the diced potatoes for 15 minutes or until they've softened, stirring every 5 minutes. Add an extra tablespoon of water if needed.
  • Make four wells in the skillet and crack the eggs into them. Top with shredded cheese and cover the skillet again. Lower the temperature to low heat and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the eggs have cooked to your liking.
  • Top the breakfast skillet with the diced cooked bacon and serve immediately.
