Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes (no need to peel). Pat dry with a towel.

  2. Step 2

    Cook bacon in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until crispy, ~6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  3. Step 3

    Add potatoes to the bacon fat and spread in one layer. Don't stir for 4 minutes until the bottom browns.

  4. Step 4

    Stir once, add onion, and cook until potatoes are golden and tender, ~6 more minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Return bacon to the pan. Make two small wells in the hash and crack an egg into each one.

  6. Step 6

    Cover and cook until egg whites set but yolks still jiggle, ~2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chives if you have them.
