Fried potatoes known as patatas bravas are fiercely flavorful, fiercely textured, fiercely presented, and fiercely adored. You and your inner Spaniard decide how fierce to be. This is merely my most recent iteration of the patatas bravas dish; there are as many variations as there are homes in Spain.

Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon

- 1 ⅓ cups milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble into small pieces.
- Beat 3 eggs in a small bowl until smooth; pour into the hot skillet. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until scrambled and set, about 5 minutes.
- Preheat a cake pop maker according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- Combine remaining egg, baking mix, milk, and vegetable oil in a large bowl to make pancake batter.
- Fold crumbled bacon, scrambled eggs, and Cheddar cheese gently into the batter.
- Fill wells of preheated cake pop machine with batter. Cook until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Fun breakfast treat. Not sure why someone who hasn’t even made them would give a rating, though!
It sounds like it would be good. I’ve not made it yet. I’m confused about the divided eggs, the directions don’t say which part of the eggs (white or yolk) go into which part.
