Farmer's Breakfast (Breakfast Scramble)

Farmer's Breakfast Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and dice the potatoes and onions. Rinse the potatoes in cold water, then drain and pat mostly dry. Chop the bacon into small pieces and beat the 8 eggs in a bowl.
2. Cook Bacon and Onions: Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for about 8–10 minutes. Add the onion near the end and cook for another 3–5 minutes until softened. Remove the bacon and onions from the skillet, but leave the rendered bacon fat.
3. Cook Potatoes: Add 1 tbsp butter to the skillet with the bacon fat. Add the potatoes and season with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss to coat. Add 2–3 tbsp water, cover, and steam for 5 minutes. Then, remove the lid and cook for another 10–15 minutes, tossing occasionally, until tender and golden.
4. Combine and Scramble: Add the bacon and onions back into the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs over the mixture and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring gently until the eggs are set.
5. Finish: Top with shredded cheddar cheese, cover until melted, and optionally garnish with green onions. Serve with ketchup if desired.
