- Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup, shredded
- Green onions
- 2, chopped
- Salt

Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Once done, remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
- Add the diced potatoes to the same skillet and spread them out in a single layer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.

- Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Crumble the reserved crispy bacon and add it back to the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the potato mixture. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped green onions before serving, adding a fresh crunch to your delicious dish.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the potato mixture.
- Feel free to substitute the cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese variety such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for a twist.
- Leftover potatoes can be refrigerated and reheated in the skillet for a quick breakfast option.
