Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Peel the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into small 1.5 cm cubes. Put them in a bowl of cold water so they don't turn dark.

  2. Slice the onion

    Peel the onion and cut it into thin slices. Also dice the bell pepper after removing the seeds and white ribs.

  3. Cook the bacon

    In the nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon, cut into small pieces, for 3 min until lightly golden. Lift it out with a spoon and set it aside on a plate.

    Tip · To keep the bacon from releasing too much fat, you can start it in a cold skillet before turning up the heat. Step 7: If you like your eggs more cooked, cover the skillet for 1 min to set the whites without touching the yolks.

  4. Cook the potatoes

    In the same skillet, add the oil and cook the diced potatoes over medium heat for 10 min, stirring now and then. They should start to turn golden.

  5. Add the vegetables

    Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Sprinkle with paprika and a pinch of salt. Cook everything over medium heat for 5 min, stirring.

  6. Finish cooking

    Put the bacon back in the skillet and cook for 2 more min so the flavors blend. Taste and adjust the salt if needed.

  7. Fry the eggs

    In another skillet, or in the same one over low heat, heat a tablespoon of oil. Gently crack in the eggs and cook them over very low heat for 3 min for runny yolks.

  8. Serve

    Divide the potato, bacon and pepper hash between two shallow bowls. Top each one with a fried egg.
