Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes
• 6 large eggs
• 200 g bacon
• 1 medium onion
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, approximately half an inch in size.

Step 2

Boil the potato cubes in salted water for 5-7 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Dice the bacon into small pieces and chop the onion finely.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the cooked bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 5

Using the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the boiled potato cubes to the skillet with the onions. Fry for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy on the edges.

Step 7

While the potatoes fry, whisk the eggs together in a bowl with the milk, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Reduce the skillet heat to low, then pour the whisked eggs over the potatoes evenly. Gently stir to combine, ensuring the egg mixture coats the potatoes and begins to set.

Step 9

Sprinkle the cooked bacon back into the skillet and continue cooking on low, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are cooked through but still soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Sprinkle the finished dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your German Farmer Breakfast warm!
