This Bacon Potato Hash recipe is a weeknight lifesaver because it uses just a handful of ingredients and can be cooked entirely on one griddle, making cleanup painless for a busy family. The bacon infuses the potatoes with rich, savory flavor while they steam until perfectly tender, so the dish tastes like it took far more effort than it did. Cooking the eggs in the final minutes means everything hits the table hot at the same time, whether your crew prefers them scrambled or over‑easy. It’s hearty, comforting, and reliably crowd‑pleasing—exactly the kind of meal that keeps weeknights running smoothly.

Method
- On a griddle or in a large skillet, cook bacon until almost done. Add in the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add 1/4-1/2 cup water and cover with dome or lid to steam. Stir occasionally, cooking until the potatoes are fork tender. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
- In the last 5-10 minutes of the potatoes cooking, cook the eggs to your preference (scrambled, fried, over easy), seasoning to taste. Serve with the bacon potato hash, or on top if over easy.
For extra flavor, you can add some chopped peppers and onions with the potatoes!
