1

Begin by preparing the ingredients, using leftover cooked potatoes if available.

2

For two portions, use approximately 6 large potatoes or 12 small ones.

3

Crack 2 to 3 eggs per portion into a bowl, adding a splash of milk, salt, and pepper, then whisk together and set aside.

4

Slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about half a centimeter thick, and place them in a bowl.

5

Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, being cautious with salt if they were pre-cooked with it.

6

Trim the spring onions, using only the white part and a bit of the green for garnish, then slice them into thicker pieces.

7

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter for frying.

8

Cook the bacon in the skillet until crispy, then remove it and let it drain on the side.

9

Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded, and fry until they are crispy and golden brown.

10

Once the potatoes are browned, add the sliced spring onions and continue to cook until they are translucent.

11

Return the crispy bacon to the skillet and mix everything together thoroughly.

12

Push the mixture to one side of the skillet, creating space for the egg mixture on the other side.

13

Pour the whisked eggs into the empty side of the skillet and let them cook undisturbed until set, about 5 minutes.

14

Once the eggs are set, gently mix everything together and serve hot.
