Potato, Bacon, and Egg Breakfast Skillet

This Potato, Bacon, and Egg Breakfast Skillet is one you’ll enjoy having any time of day.

I just love breakfast foods for dinner.  Love’em!  This is one of these breakfasts that’s substantial and filling enough for dinner, as well as a great breakfast or brunch idea.

I can’t say enough things about how good this tastes!  You have to make it!  Unlike other breakfast skillets, the potatoes are absolutely delicious because they have soaked up all the amazing flavors from the bacon and butter.  The eggs and cheese only make it better.

Speaking of eggs, there is just something amazing about eggs that are baked in the oven.  The whites are perfectly set and the yellows are slightly jiggly and just perfectly runny.  It’s perfection!

Steps to a delicious, potato, bacon, and egg breakfast skillet:

I used Yukon Gold Potatoes because of their buttery flavor and creamy texture.  These are actually my favorite potato.

Peel and chop the potatoes into approximately 1 inch cubed pieces.  You don’t need to be precise.

Bring a pot of water to boil.  Add the potatoes and boil until you can easily insert a knife into a piece.

You want the potatoes to be tender, but to also hold their shape.  Drain the potatoes and set them aside.  You can do this step ahead of time if you need to.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Heat a large pan to medium heat.  Add the bacon.  Cook until the bacon starts to render some fat and just begins to crisp up on the edges.  It smells so good already!

Add the potatoes to the pan, followed by the butter, oil, salt, and pepper.

The bacon will give the potatoes such as delicious flavor.  As you know, bacon fat tastes good.  The butter also gives it an additional layer of rich flavor.

Give it a good stir.  Cook until the potatoes have soaked up the bacon flavor.  Give it a taste.  You’ll know by the taste.

Crack the eggs and add them to the skillet.  I cracked each egg into a small bowl first and then slid it into the skillet.

Sprinkle the eggs with a little extra salt and pepper.  Put as much or as little as you like.

As if it’s not decadent enough, drizzle the dish with some shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the egg whites are completely set.  Enjoy!
