Ingredients
- 6 oz bacon, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 4 cups potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 lb)
- ½ medium onion, diced
- 4 large eggs
- ½ tsp caraway seeds (optional but traditional)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Cook bacon in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until edges curl and fat renders, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving 2 tbsp fat in the pan.
- 2
Add diced potatoes and onion to the skillet. Cook without stirring for 3 minutes until the bottom browns, then stir and cook another 5 minutes until edges crisp.
- 3
Return bacon to the skillet. Sprinkle caraway seeds over the top. Make four small wells in the hash and crack an egg into each.
- 4
Cover the skillet with a lid or foil. Cook over medium-low heat until egg whites set but yolks still jiggle, about 4 minutes.
- 5
Sprinkle parsley over the top if using. Slide onto a plate and serve straight from the skillet, or divide between plates.
