How to Make Egg Bacon And Potato Skillet

  1. Whisk 6 large eggs with 2 tablespoons of whipping cream. Season generously with seasoned salt and black pepper to taste.
  2. Set aside.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 2 cups of cold, diced cooked potatoes. Cook, tossing gently with a spatula, until well browned and semi-crispy (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, and 4 ounces crumbled cooked bacon to the skillet.
  6. Cook for 1 minute, stirring gently. Add more butter if needed to prevent sticking.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the potato and bacon mixture.
  8. Once the eggs are mostly set, use a spatula to gently lift and fold the edges inward, allowing the bottom to brown slightly.
  9. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  10. Cover the skillet and cook until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through (about 2-3 minutes).
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy! Optional: Add 1-2 finely chopped seeded jalapeños and 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning for extra heat.
