Ingredients:
2 large eggs (for frying)
4 slices of bacon
1 medium potato (for hash browns) or 1 cup frozen hash browns
2 slices of bread (for toast or pancakes)
Butter (for cooking and spreading)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon oil (for frying)
Maple syrup (optional, for serving with pancakes)
Fresh fruit (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Hash Browns: If you’re using a fresh potato, begin by grating the potato into thin shreds. Squeeze out any excess moisture using a kitchen towel or paper towels. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the grated potato (or frozen hash browns) and press it into the pan to form an even layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Cook the Bacon: While the hash browns are cooking, place the bacon slices in a cold skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook the bacon, flipping occasionally, until crispy and browned to your liking (usually about 7-10 minutes). Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease.
