Breakfast Fries

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes cut into 1/4-inch fries
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 6 slices bacon cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water 15 minutes, drain, and pat completely dry.
  • Toss with oil, cornstarch and salt, spread in a single layer, and bake 35 to 40 minutes, flipping once, until deep golden and crisp.
  • While the fries bake, whisk the eggs with the milk in a bowl until no streaks of white remain.
  • Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, pour in the eggs, and cook slowly, stirring often, 3 to 4 minutes, until softly set but still glossy.
  • Pile the hot fries onto a platter and scatter the cheddar over them while hot.
  • Top with the soft scrambled eggs and crumbled bacon.
  • Drizzle with hot sauce, finish with chives, and serve right away with extra hot sauce on the side.

Good to Know

Cook the bacon up to a day ahead and crisp it back up in a dry skillet for 1 minute before serving.
