Ingredients
•
4 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces

3 russet potatoes, scrubbed, chopped into 3/4-inch cubes
•
1/4 cup water
•

Directions
1
Gather all ingredients.
2
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels; reserve most of the bacon fat in the skillet.
3
Crumble bacon and set aside.
4
Reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir onion in reserved bacon fat until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes; toss to coat evenly in bacon fat. Pour in water and cover the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
5
Mix in green onions, garlic, and paprika. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Make 4 wells in potato mixture using a wooden spoon, revealing the bottom of the skillet.
6
Crack an egg into each well; season with salt and pepper.
7
Sprinkle Cheddar cheese and bacon over the entire skillet.
8
Cover and cook until egg whites are set and yolks are still runny, about 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
