Ingredients

  • 3 bacon strips, diced
  • 2 cups diced peeled potatoes
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. In a 9-in. nonstick skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Drain, reserving drippings. Set bacon aside.
  2. Cook potatoes and onion in drippings until tender, stirring occasionally. Add eggs, salt and pepper; mix gently. Cover and cook over medium heat until eggs, salt and pepper; mix gently. Cover and cook over medium heat until eggs are completely set. Sprinkle with cheese.
  3. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with bacon. Carefully run a knife around edge of skillet to loosen; transfer to a serving plate. Cut into wedges.
