Ingredients

• 2 medium russet potatoes
• 6 slices bacon
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 stalks green onions
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0 to taste hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly, then dice them into 1/2-inch cubes.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed potatoes and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble into bite-sized pieces once cooled.

Step 4

Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease from the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet, allow it to melt, then pour in the eggs. Gently scramble them until they are fluffy and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Thinly slice the green onions and reserve for garnish.

Step 7

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Return the crispy potatoes, scrambled eggs, and crumbled bacon to the skillet, stirring gently to combine and heat through.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.

Step 9

Garnish the Frontier Breakfast with the sliced green onions. Serve immediately, with hot sauce on the side if desired.
