Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 strips bacon diced
- 4 russet potatoes peeled and diced
- 1 onion diced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/4 cup water plus more if needed
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese or more
Instructions
Instructions
- Cook the diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until evenly browned. Transfer it to a paper-lined plate, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add the diced onion and sauté for 2 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes and seasonings. Stir to coat, then cook in an even layer for 3 to 4 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons of water, cover, and cook until tender, stirring every 5 minutes and adding more water if needed.
- Make four wells in the potatoes and crack an egg into each. Top with shredded cheese, cover, lower the heat, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the eggs reach your preferred doneness.
- Top with the cooked bacon and serve immediately.
Notes
Keep the potatoes in a single layer so they brown before steaming.
Add water gradually; the skillet should steam the potatoes without becoming soupy.
