Big Pants Breakfast Skillet

Ingredients

6 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces

½ pound mild breakfast sausage browned and crumbly

1 onion, chopped

3 russet potatoes, scrubbed, chopped into 3/4-inch cubes

¼ cup water

3 green onions, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

4 eggs

2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Brown the sausage until crumbly. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain. Place bacon in a the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels; reserve most of the bacon fat in skillet.

Reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir onions until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes; toss to coat evenly in skillet fat. Pour in water and cover skillet with a large lid. Cook, checking occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Add green onions, garlic, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper.

Make 4 wells in the potato mixture using a wooden spoon, revealing the bottom of the skillet. Crack an egg into each well; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle cooked bacon, sausage and Cheddar cheese over the entire skillet. Replace lid; cook until egg whites are set and yolks are still runny, about 5 minutes. Serve with biscuits or toast. 4 Servings.
