Cooking Bacon and Potatoes
- In a large skillet (about 12 inches), cook the diced bacon over medium-high heat until almost crispy. Remove the bacon and drain it on paper towels. Wipe out any excess bacon grease from the skillet.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the diced potatoes in a single layer. Let them cook without stirring for 3–4 minutes to develop a golden crust on the bottom.
- Flip and continue cooking for 10–15 minutes total, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
- In the final minute of cooking, sprinkle the potatoes with the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Combining Ingredients
- Return the cooked bacon to the skillet and add the chopped chives or green onions. Stir to distribute them evenly throughout the potatoes.
- Move the potato mixture to create 4 wells or pockets for the eggs. Carefully crack one egg into each well. Sprinkle the cheese around and over the eggs.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 3–5 minutes until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Season with additional black pepper if desired. Garnish with extra chives or green onions. Cut the hash into 4 portions and serve hot.
