Ingredients

24ozpotatoes,about 4 medium-sized, scrubbed clean, and peeled

2tbspolive oil,or coconut oil

7ozdiced bacon,trimmed of fat

2scallions,or spring onions, shallots trimmed and finely sliced

4large eggs

1/4cupshredded mozzarella cheese,or cheddar

Cracked pepper,to season

Preparation

Dice potatoes into small ¾-inch cubes.

Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet or pan over medium heat. Fry the potatoes in the hot oil and cook while stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy for about 20 minutes.

To speed up cooking time, cover the pan with a lid, checking the potatoes every 4 to 5 minutes or so to stir them.

Add the bacon pieces to the pan and fry while stirring occasionally for 10 minutes until crisp. The potatoes will be golden with crisp edges, while soft on the inside. Add the spring onions; stir them through and season with pepper.

Using a wooden spoon or spatula, make four wells in the hash, crack an egg into each well, and arrange the mozzarella around each egg.

Fry until the whites are set and the eggs are cooked to your liking. Serve immediately.
