Ingredients:
  • 1 small russet potato (about 9 ounces), scrubbed (skin on)
  • 1 slice bacon
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
  1. Prick the potato several times with a fork and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then chop into 1/2-inch cubes.
  2. In an 8-inch cast-iron skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove the bacon, but leave the drippings in the pan.
  3. Add the olive oil and diced potato to the skillet, cooking and stirring frequently until browned, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt.
  5. Make two wells in the hash and crack an egg into each. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the eggs are partially set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle with cheese, cover, and cook until the cheese melts and the egg whites are fully set, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Chop the bacon and sprinkle over the top. Finish with freshly ground black pepper and serve warm.

Make-Ahead Tip: You can microwave the potato ahead of time, cool it, and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. This makes breakfast prep even quicker!
