Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Shred potatoes using a box grater. Squeeze firmly in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

  2. Step 2

    Cook bacon in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until crispy, ~8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Leave 2 tbsp bacon fat in the skillet. Add shredded potatoes, press down firmly with a spatula.

  4. Step 4

    Cook without stirring for 5 minutes until bottom edges turn golden brown and crispy.

  5. Step 5

    Flip sections of the hashbrowns and cook another 3 minutes. Stir in cooked bacon and cheese.

  6. Step 6

    Push hashbrowns to the sides. Crack eggs into the center of the skillet and cover with a lid.

  7. Step 7

    Cook 3 minutes until egg whites set but yolks still jiggle. Season with salt and pepper.

  8. Step 8

    Slide onto a plate and serve immediately.
