Dice raw Yukon gold potatoes and microwave for 2 minutes to soften them.

Place bacon on the griddle first.

Prepare sausage by twisting the casing to form an Irish banger.

Add onions to the griddle.

Put maple baked beans in a pot on the back corner of the griddle to warm up.

Add clarified butter, Lowry seasoned salt, and black pepper to the potatoes.

Move the potatoes to the griddle with bacon fat and sausage fat for flavor and color.

Use a steak weight to press down on the potatoes for better color.

Flip the bacon and sausages a couple of times to prevent burning and check their temperature with a thermometer, aiming for 155°F for pork.

Move the cooked sausage to the warming spot by the beans and check the bacon's crispiness.

Add wedged tomatoes to the griddle in the bacon and sausage grease.

Cut baby bella mushrooms in half and place them flat side down on the griddle.

Add oil to the griddle and place soda bread to toast.

Season the tomatoes and mushrooms with salt and pepper.

Wipe down the griddle to remove any meat bits before cooking the eggs.

Turn down the heat and wait for the griddle to cool to around 280°F before adding the eggs.

Cook the eggs sunny side up at around 300°F, pulling the whites out to ensure they cook evenly.
