Instructions
Preparation
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and let cool slightly before dicing.
- Fry the bacon in a large frying pan over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the grease in the pan.
- Cook the diced potatoes in the same pan for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt, pepper, and the chopped herbs.
Cooking
- Crumble the crispy bacon back into the pan with the potatoes and pour the egg mixture over everything. Stir gently to combine.
- Lower the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the eggs set.
- Serve hot and garnish with additional herbs.
Notes
Ingredient quality matters; use fresh eggs, good bacon, and seasonal herbs. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
