Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 6 strips of bacon in a cold 12-inch skillet and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until evenly crisp. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels, leaving bacon fat in skillet.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns to the skillet with bacon fat. Spread evenly and cook over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes without stirring until the bottom is golden and crisp.
  3. Step 3: Flip hash browns in sections and cook an additional 5 minutes until both sides are golden brown and crunchy. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Step 4: In a separate non-stick pan, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter over medium heat. Crack 4 large eggs into the pan and cook sunny-side up for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  5. Step 5: Serve the crispy hash browns topped with bacon strips and sunny-side eggs immediately, seasoning eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
