Step 1
Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch cubes. Cook bacon in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until crispy, ~8 minutes.
Step 2
Remove bacon to a plate, leaving fat in the pan. Add potatoes and onion; cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until edges brown.
Step 3
Stir and cook 5 more minutes until potatoes are golden and tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
Whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet and scramble gently until soft curds form, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the cooked bacon and fresh herbs. Serve hot straight from the skillet.
