Equipment

Ingredients
Bacon and Vegetables
- 4 slices bacon cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 medium russet potatoes scrubbed, chopped into ¾-inch cubes
- ¼ cup water

Instructions
Preparation and Cooking
- Gather all ingredients.
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels; reserve most of the bacon fat in the skillet.
- Crumble bacon and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir onion in reserved bacon fat until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes; toss to coat evenly in bacon fat. Pour in water and cover the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Mix in green onions, garlic, and paprika. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Make 4 wells in potato mixture using a wooden spoon, revealing the bottom of the skillet.
- Crack an egg into each well; season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle Cheddar cheese and bacon over the entire skillet.
- Cover and cook until egg whites are set and yolks are still runny, about 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
If potatoes start to brown too quickly, add more water.
