# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one sheet pan and one skillet, so cleanup is surprisingly minimal
  • The crispy potatoes with that paprika and garlic hit are honestly addictive
  • You can customize the toppings based on whatever is languishing in your crisper drawer
02 -
  • Do not crowd the potatoes on the baking sheet or they will steam instead of getting crispy
  • Season the scrambled eggs at the very end, not while they are cooking, to keep them tender
  • Let the cheese melt for about a minute before adding cold toppings so everything stays warm
03 -
  • Flip the potatoes halfway through roasting for the crispiest results on all sides
  • Reserve a tablespoon of bacon fat to cook the eggs for unbeatable flavor
