Ingredients

2 Russet potatoes (large, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
6 slice thick-cut bacon (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 yellow onion (medium, chopped)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 large eggs (large)
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoon fresh chives (chopped)

Instructions

Place cubed Russet potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave on high for 5-7 minutes, or until just tender. Drain well.
While potatoes microwave, cook thick-cut bacon pieces in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Leave 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet; drain any excess.
Add the par-cooked Russet potatoes to the skillet with the bacon fat (add 1 tablespoon olive oil if bacon fat is insufficient). Increase heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes, until potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
Add chopped yellow onion to the skillet with the potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring until softened and slightly caramelized. Stir in the cooked crispy bacon.
Clear three spaces in the hash. Crack one large egg into each space. Season the eggs and the hash lightly with salt and black pepper.
Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired consistency (runny, jammy, or firm).
Garnish with fresh chives and serve the skillet directly from the pan.

Notes

Ensure the potatoes are cut into uniform small cubes for even and quick cooking. If you prefer crispier eggs, you can cook them uncovered for a fried egg texture.
