Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 pound (226 grams) bacon, chopped
Vegetables:
- 45 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
Seasonings and Garnish:
- 0.5 teaspoon fine ground sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium temperature and render bacon until achieving a crisp, golden texture. Transfer the rendered strips to a paper towel-lined surface, preserving the flavorful bacon drippings within the pan.
- Introduce diced onions to the skillet, sautéing until they become translucent and develop a soft, slightly caramelized profile.
- Incorporate diced potatoes into the skillet, generously seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Allow potatoes to transform into a golden-brown masterpiece, stirring periodically to ensure even cooking and preventing unwanted sticking.
- Reintroduce the crispy bacon pieces into the potato-onion mixture, gently folding to distribute ingredients evenly and create a harmonious flavor blend.
- Carefully create small indentations within the hash landscape, then delicately crack eggs directly into these designated wells. Provide a subtle enhancement with an additional sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Maintain medium heat, allowing egg whites to gradually set and become opaque while preserving the vibrant, runny character of the yolks.
- Transition the skillet to the oven’s broiler, positioning it to achieve a quick, intense heat that will finalize the egg’s preparation and create a delightful surface texture.
- Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately to capture the dish’s optimal temperature and visual appeal.
Notes
- Transform this breakfast hash into a vegetarian delight by swapping bacon for smoky tempeh or plant-based bacon alternatives.
- Control cooking precision by using a cast-iron skillet, which ensures even heat distribution and perfect potato crispiness.
- Lower the fat content by draining excess bacon grease and using a minimal amount for cooking, or substitute with olive oil for a healthier approach.
- Customize the spice level by adding smoked paprika,
