A hearty morning bowl with crispy potatoes, eggs, bacon, cheese and fresh avocado toppings.
# Ingredient List:
→ Potatoes
01 - 3 medium russet potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon paprika
04 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
→ Proteins
06 - 6 large eggs
07 - 6 strips bacon, diced
08 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
→ Fresh Toppings
09 - 1 medium avocado, diced
10 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
11 - 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
12 - 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
13 - Hot sauce to taste
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss diced potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on edges.
02 - While potatoes roast, cook diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp and browned. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease, leaving 1 tablespoon bacon drippings in the skillet.
03 - Whisk eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into the same skillet with reserved bacon drippings over medium-low heat. Gently push eggs across the pan with a spatula for 2-3 minutes until just set and still slightly moist. Remove from heat immediately.
04 - Divide roasted potatoes evenly among 4 bowls. Top each portion with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Arrange diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro over each bowl. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired and serve immediately while hot.
