Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick cut bacon diced
- 3/4 pound baby red potatoes halved
- Kosher salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped basil
- 2 large eggs fried
Instructions
- Add diced bacon to your skillet and set over medium heat.
- Cook until crispy and browned.
- Remove bacon from your skillet and set it onto a paper towel-lined plate. The paper towel helps soak up any remaining bacon fat.
- Keep 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the skillet and add in the potatoes.
- Season potatoes with the desired amount of kosher salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and cook the potatoes, stirring often, until they are fork-tender and browned about 20 minutes. The total cooking time of the potatoes will depend on how large they are. Remember to not cook your potatoes on too high of a heat or the outside will burn while the inside will still be raw. Patience is key.
- Once your potatoes are ready add in the basil and bacon. Stir to combine.
- To serve divide between 2 plates and top each plate with a fried egg.
