Cut the bacon into small pieces using kitchen shears and add it to a skillet to brown.

While the bacon is cooking, chop up the onion and bell pepper into small dices.

Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain it on paper towels.

Drain out half of the grease from the skillet, leaving about one tablespoon.

Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and let it melt.

Add the chopped peppers and onions to the skillet and sauté them.

Add the 20 oz package of diced potatoes to the skillet and mix everything together.

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.

Cook the mixture for about 5 to 7 minutes until the potatoes are crispy and the vegetables are softened.

Add the cooked bacon and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese to the skillet and mix well.

Lower the heat to medium-low and create wells in the mixture for the eggs.

Crack 5 eggs into the wells in the skillet.

Season the eggs with salt and pepper.

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the eggs are set.

Garnish with parsley or green onion before serving.
