Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch cubes. Cook bacon in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until crispy, ~8 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Remove bacon to a plate, leaving fat in the pan. Add potatoes and onion; cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until edges brown.

  3. Step 3

    Stir and cook 5 more minutes until potatoes are golden and tender when pierced with a fork.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet and scramble gently until soft curds form, ~3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in the cooked bacon and fresh herbs. Serve hot straight from the skillet.
