For the Crispy Breakfast Potatoes:

For the Bacon:

- 1 tsp honey (optional, for shine)
For the Toast:
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 tbsp butter
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon + sugar
For Serving:

Instructions – Step by Step
1. Make the Crispy Potatoes
- Cut potatoes into small cubes for faster, crispier cooking.
- Heat oil in a large skillet.
- Add potatoes and let them brown without stirring for a few minutes.
- Once golden, season with paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Continue cooking until crispy on the outside and soft inside.
2. Creamy Scrambled Eggs
- Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
- Melt butter in a pan over low heat.
- Pour in the eggs and gently stir with a spatula.
- Cook slowly so the eggs stay soft and creamy, not dry.
- Sprinkle with parsley or chives.
3. Cook the Bacon
- Heat a clean skillet with no oil (the bacon releases fat).
- Lay the strips and cook until crispy.
- Optionally brush with a tiny bit of honey for shine.
4. Toast the Bread
- Spread butter on both sides of the bread.
- Toast in a pan until golden brown.
- Optional: sprinkle a little cinnamon and sugar for a sweet twist.
