Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon , cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 onion , chopped
  • 3 russets potatoes , scrubbed, chopped into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 0.25 cups water
  • 2 greens onions , sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Crack an egg into each well; season with salt and pepper.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle Cheddar cheese and bacon over the entire skillet.

  8. 8

    Cover and cook until egg whites are set and yolks are still runny, about 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
