Ingredients
  

4 medium potatoes, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 small red onion, chopped

4 large eggs

1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (or plant-based bacon)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 green onions, finely sliced (for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.

    Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced bell pepper and chopped red onion to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.

      Add Bacon: Stir in the crumbled cooked bacon and mix everything together to combine the flavors.

        Cook the Eggs: Make four small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, you can cook them longer.

          Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the entire skillet. Cover again for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and fresh parsley.
