Hash Brown Egg Topper

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Breakfast

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp. unsalted butter, plus more if needed
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced lengthwise and then halved
  • 3 slices bacon
  • 4 baked potatoes, cubed (including skin)
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • 5 or 6 large eggs

Directions

  1. Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Add the onions, peppers, and bacon and cook until the bacon is cooked, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the potatoes, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper to taste and let sit to brown on the bottom a couple of minutes; add a little more butter if needed. Reduce the heat to medium-low, flip the potatoes and brown on the other side for 2 minutes or so.

  2. Make 5 or 6 shallow holes in the potato mixture. Add a dot of butter to each hole and crack in an egg. Put a pinch of salt on each egg. Sprinkle in some water to create steam, cover, and cook for about 3 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
