Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 16 ounces frozen hash browns
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 cup real bacon bits
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • chopped fresh parsley optional for serving

Instructions

  • Add oil, frozen hash browns, salt, garlic powder and pepper to a skillet and stir. Cook over medium high heat, stirring occasionally until potatoes begin to brown. About 10-12 minutes.
  • Add in your bacon bits and spread them evenly throughout the potatoes in the cast iron skillet. 
  • Spread potatoes evenly into the pan and use the back of a spoon or measuring cup to create 6 divots in the potatoes.
  • Add 1 egg in each divot. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with cheese.
  • Cover and heat for 5-10 minutes depending on how done you'd like your egg yolk.
  • Remove from heat. Top with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
