Instructions
Carefully slice the bacon into small pieces. Heat your skillet to medium heat and cook bacon until crisp, approximately 4 minutes, stirring often. When bacon is crisp remove from skillet and place on a paper towel.
Drain off the bacon grease, reserving about 1 tablespoon of the grease in the skillet.
Toss the potatoes in a large plastic bag or bowl and toss with one tablespoon of olive oil, coat well. Toss the potatoes in the spices until evenly coated.
Add the potatoes to the skillet in an even layer. Fry the potatoes at least 5 minutes, without stirring. Stir occasionally and cook about 10 minutes until they are fork tender.
Add the peppers and onions and the last tablespoon of olive oil if needed, cook, stirring occasionally until tender. This should take 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle bacon on top and serve immediately. Top with eggs, avocados, hot sauce, or other additions if preferred.
Notes
If using pre-cooked potatoes, you can toss them in as directed but only cook about 5-10 minutes while stirring occasionally, then add in peppers and onions and continue as written.
