I’ve just started cooking and this was easy and delicious!
Tyler Fernandez
No wonder there are no leftovers, this is a recipe for one! No, but seriously, it was really good.
Gregory Campbell
Yes! Liked it lots. I didn’t have fresh bacon on hand so I substituted baco’s and added olive oil to the skillet to brown the potatoes. Very tasty!
Rhonda Horton
Fairly simple recipe to make but outstanding. Was a little hesitant on putting eggs over my potato but it’s really good. They won’t win any awards for presentation but still amazing. The only change I made is using olive oil instead of bacon grease as it doesn’t seem to burn off like the bacon grease does, but perfect either way.

I loved it just the way it was!!!!

Let’s be honest, this recipe is never going to look beautiful, but it tastes really good. I think it’s comfort food at its best. I think everyone will adapt it to suit their own tastes. We love bacon and eggs, so I added more. I will be making this again.
Anthony Black
These were really good but a bit of a splurge when trying to eat healthy. I’m sure it doesn’t help that I had to add extra cheese and the husband wanted extra bacon! It was quick, easy, filling, and paired nicely with a side salad.
Patricia Shaw
Reallly Really delicious! I added more bacon, and more cheese!
Geoffrey Cooper
easy and tasty

Delicious!!!! I made mine with more bacon and I agree with others, it ended up being a little greasy…. but I just tried to soak up as much grease as I could with papertowels at the end. Still thought it was awesome.
Justin Smith
These potatoes were delicious. I added a twist by adding a cup of cooked julienned carrots about halfway through frying the potatoes.
Carlos Bailey
pretty good

Thanks for sharing the recipe. This tasted OK. Probably won’t make this again, but glad I tried it.

Made this for dinner tonight- a huge hit! Called it “country breakfast in a bowl” and the kids gave it 5 stars and went back for more. I did use turkey bacon (which I removed after frying, diced up and threw back in with the cheese), added garlic and paprika and a mix of cheddar and jack cheeses ( way more than called for, lol). Since turkey bacon doesnt add grease, I used a bit of olive oil and it was not too greasy at all. Wonderful idea! Thanks so much

This recipe really hit the spot! I used colby & monterey jack cheese because that’s what I had but I think cheddar would have been equally delicious!

These were delecious potatoes. I loved the flavor the bacon grease added!! I didn’t add any of the crumbled bacon back to the poatoes and I left the eggs out because I was serving these with a bacon and egg main breakfast dish. They turned out great, I would make these the way the recipe says as well.

This was pretty good; after coming home to basically no clean dishes, I really needed a one pan dish, and it was exactly what I wanted (bacon, eggs and potatoes).. I used chicken bacon so there was no grease for the potatoes but that was fine, I also beat the eggs first but I found the final taste to be too eggy so I will add milk the next time. Upon suggestion I also used 3potatoes, 4 eggs (next time will use 4 potatoes) and I used 4 pieces of bacon; since it’s chicken kind, I was easily able to slice it into big chunks before cooking. Microwaving the potatoes really helped too. Thanks!!
