Eggs With Bacon, Onions, and Potatoes (Hoppelpoppel) image

This makes a hearty and delicious breakfast. I call it a German omelet. You may substitute ham for the bacon. Feel free to add kale or beet greens or well-drained diced tomatoes to lighten it up a bit.

Time 20m

Yield 2 , 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 medium boiling potatoes, peeled
1 1/2 cups lean bacon or 1 1/2 cups ham, chopped
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
4 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Parboil the potatoes by first bringing a pot of of salted water to boil. Carefully drop the potatoes into the pot. Broil briskly, uncovered, until the potatoes are slightly resistant to piercing with a sharp knife. Be careful not to overcook the potatoes or they will be mushy in the final product.
  • In a 12-inch skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. With a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are soft and translucent. Turn off the heat and set the skillet aside.
  • Drain the potatoes, cool to the touch, then dice them (about 1/2 inch square). Add them to the onions in the skillet and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, occasionally turning the potatoes with a spatula.
  • In a small bowl, beat the eggs, milk, pasley, salt, and pepper with a fork until well mixed. Crumble the bacon and add it to the potatoes. Pour in the eggs. Reduce heat to low and cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes or until the eggs are set, but slightly moist.
  • To serve, invert onto a plate. Serve immediately.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I used cauliflower instead of potatoes. It was a great way to enjoy this dish without all the carbs.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of bacon. It was still really good!

This dish is a great way to use up leftover bacon grease. I always save my bacon grease in a jar in the fridge and use it in recipes like this.

I made this recipe in a cast iron skillet and it came out perfect. The cast iron skillet evenly distributed the heat and gave the potatoes a nice crispy crust.

I accidentally used sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes. It turned out surprisingly well! The sweet potatoes added a nice touch of sweetness to the dish.

I'm not a fan of onions, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious!
