DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes, and cook until tender but still firm, 12 to 15 minutes; drain.
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Cut into small chunks; set aside.
Place potatoes into skillet, and cook on medium heat until browned. Flip potatoes occasionally to prevent sticking. Stir in green pepper, red pepper, onion, and mushrooms. Cook until vegetables are tender. Stir in cooked bacon, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with shredded cheese, and turn mixture until cheese is melted. Keep on low heat while cooking eggs.
Cook eggs to your preferred style. Place potatoes in a large serving dish, and top with eggs (2 per serving).

This is a great Sunday morning breakfast. It doesn't cook fast, so not good for the weekdays. I figure it is one of those kitchen sink dishes as you can thrown in just about anything you would eat with eggs. I didn't have peppers on hand, so left them out, used cheddar rather than american cheese. But you don't really have to make anything else with this meal. I did adjust the amount for only 2 people. Also, I didn't read the recipe correctly and didn't boil the potatoes before putting in the skillet. That may but it still only took my a little over an hour to make.

Wonderful recipe. Used frozen diced potatos that I thawed in the fridge the day before to cut down on cooking time. Thanks for the post.

Great recipe. Enough for 6-8. I saved time by microwaving the potatoes. Browned them in the pan AFTER pouring out excess bacon grease. Added a tablespoon of garlic with the vegetables (you can never have enough garlic!). After adding the bacon to the cooked vegetables, I poured eight beaten eggs over the top, covered and cooked on medium-low about 10 minutes until almost firm. Then I topped with sliced tomatoes and grated cheese, and continued to cook, uncovered, until the cheese was melted. Had enough leftovers to serve the next day rolled up in flour tortillas!

Excellent!!! Its Sunday morning and I'm in no mood to boil the potatoes so I cooked them in the mircowave before adding them to the skillet. I also added some chopped broccoli. I choose to scramble the eggs because they were the easiest to make. But basically followed the recipe to the letter. This was a hearty brunch indeed, swallowed down by a glass of mimosa and a side of cinnamon rolls and it was a great way to start the day!! Thanks Jay!!

Delicious! Definitely hearty. Although it does take a while to make, a lot of it you don't have to pay close attention to (like boiling the potatoes) so it's pretty easy to cook. I made it for dinner, but I think because it is so solid it would be best for breakfast or brunch ( so you have lots of daylight hours to burn off all the calories!) Next time I might use a bit less cheese since I don't think it would alter the flavor much but would cut down on the fat/calories.

I've made something similar to this forever for a quick evening meal. However, I use frozen hash browns instead of fresh potatoes and when I'm ready to cook the eggs I make indentations in the potatoes and drop the eggs in them, sprinkle all over with shredded cheddar, cover and cook on medium low heat till done. Yummy!

Hearty & filling!! Like other reviewers have said, this recipe does take awhile to cook (it took me over an hour). The potatoes are the most time consuming part of the recipe. I also used cheddar instead of american cheese & served the meal with toast. YUMMY!!

unless i did something realllll wrong, this was a really ugly dish. it was, however extremely GOOD! i dont see any reason to hide it in breakfast foods, just because it s ugly. i will have it again for a casserole at supper time. i think in a casserole dish it would be more presentable.

In my family we call this farmer's breakfast. We skip the cheese, however and just pour scrambled eggs right over the vegetable/bacon mix and cook them in the same pan. You can cook the veggies ahead and when your brunch guests arrive, just heat them a little and add the eggs to cook. Just one skillet to clean, yum!
