We put this together for breakfast a few days ago, and it was quite nice -- grating the potatoes takes a little while but once that's done the rest comes together very easily.
As usual, some modifications were made. We pre-cooked the bacon (actually tofu "bacon") in the skillet before adding the potatoes, so we didn't preheat the skillet in the oven; we also mixed in some onion and added an extra egg. As the authors mention, it's a versatile recipe that accepts a lot of variation.
Simple Cheesy Skillet Hashbrowns & Eggs
Spoon Fork Bacon
Ingredients
- 4 slices of tofu bacon
 - 2+2+1 tbsp butter, divided
 - 3 C grated potato
 - 1 onion, finely chopped
 - 4 large eggs
 - ½ C grated cheddar cheese
 - salt and pepper
 - chives and/or green onions
 
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. 
 - In a 10" oven-safe (ideally, cast-iron) skillet, cook the bacon.
 - Remove the bacon and mix it and the onion into the potato.
 - Add 2 tbsp of butter to the skillet, melt it, and swirl it around.
 - Add the potato-bacon-onion mix and spread it into an even layer. Make four shallow wells in it for the eggs.
 - Season with salt and pepper, crumble another 2 tbsp of butter over top, and bake until the potato is cooked, ~10 minutes.
 - Remove from the oven.
 - Divide the remaining 1 tbsp of butter between the four egg wells, then crack an egg into each well.
 - Top with shredded cheese.
 - Return to the oven until the cheese is melty and the egg whites are fully set, another 8-10 minutes.
 - Top with chives and/or green onions. Serve with chili-garlic sauce.
