Ingredients

• 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
• 4 slices thick‑cut smoked bacon, chopped into 1-inch pieces
• 1 green bell pepper, diced into 1/4-inch squares
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 4 large eggs, cracked
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large cast‑iron skillet over medium‑high heat until shimmering.
2. Add diced potatoes, season with half the salt and pepper, and cook 5‑7 minutes, stirring until golden brown on edges.
3. Push potatoes to the side, add bacon pieces, and fry 4‑5 minutes until crisp; remove excess fat if needed.
4. Stir in the bell pepper and onion, sprinkle the remaining salt, pepper, and paprika, and sauté 3‑4 minutes until softened.
5. Create four wells in the mixture, crack an egg into each, and reduce heat to medium.
6. Cover skillet and cook 3‑5 minutes, or until whites set and yolks are still runny; remove from heat.
7. Serve immediately, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs.

Tips for Success

• Pat potatoes dry before cooking to ensure maximum crispness.
• Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if your skillet is small.
• Use smoked bacon for depth; if too fatty, drain excess before adding veggies.
• Covering the skillet steams the eggs gently, preventing over‑cooking.
• Adjust paprika for a milder or spicier flavor as desired.

Storage

Cool the hash to room temperature, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of oil to restore crispness. Freeze portions in a freezer‑safe bag for up to 2 months; thaw overnight and reheat as above.

Notes

Dry potatoes for crunch; cover skillet to steam eggs gently. Adjust seasoning to taste.
