Instructions

  1. Step 1: Dice 300g russet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and finely chop 50g yellow onion. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and onions, stirring to coat, then cook for 12-15 minutes until golden and crispy, stirring occasionally.
  2. Step 2: While potatoes cook, cook 100g chopped bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until crispy; remove with slotted spoon, leaving 1 tbsp bacon fat in skillet.
  3. Step 3: Return bacon to potato mixture with 1 tsp pure maple syrup, stirring to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Push mixture to sides of skillet, then crack 4 large eggs into the center. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes until egg whites set but yolks remain runny.
  4. Step 4: Garnish with 25g chopped fresh chives and serve immediately.
