Bacon Breakfast Potatoes Recipe (video)
The best breakfast potatoes with bacon bits, carrots and fresh herbs, served with poached eggs!
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon
- 4 large red-skin potatoes
- 3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp salt
- ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp fresh dill
- 1 tbsp fresh chives
- 4 poached eggs
Instructions
- Peel and cube the potatoes, then soak in cold water while preparing the remaining ingredients.
- Preheat a large saute pan over medium heat and render the bacon until golden and crispy. Remove the bacon onto a tray lined with a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Into the same pan, add the butter, onion and carrots. Saute for a few minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the potatoes and season with salt, black pepper and smoked paprika.
- Saute the potatoes over medium-low heat, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Cover the pan with a lid to shorten the cooking time. When potatoes are almost ready, cut the bacon into bits and return to the pan.
- For serving, transfer the potatoes into a serving dish and garnish with fresh dill and minced chives. Top with poached egg, or serve with desired egg on the side.
