Savory breakfast skillet with onions, potatoes, bacon, fried eggs, Cheddar cheese, garlic, and smoked paprika.
Ingredients:
  • 4 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 russet potatoes, scrubbed, chopped into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions:
  • Prepare all ingredients.
  • Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until perfectly browned, approximately 10 minutes. Place on paper towels to drain; keep most of the bacon fat in the skillet.
  • Dice the crispy bacon and reserve for later use.
  • Lower the heat to medium. Sauté the onion in the delicious reserved bacon fat until slightly softened for about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and coat them evenly in the savory bacon fat. Pour in the water, cover the skillet, and cook until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes.
  • Combine the green onions, garlic, and paprika into the potato mixture. Season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Create 4 wells in the mixture using a wooden spoon to reveal the skillet bottom.
  • Gently crack one egg into each well and season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
  • Cover the skillet in a blanket of Cheddar cheese and crispy bacon.
  • Allow the eggs to gently cook until the whites are firm but the yolks remain delightfully runny, which should take approximately 5 minutes. Serve promptly and savor every bite!
