3/4 pound bacon strips, finely chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

1 package (30 ounces) frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed

8 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium heat until bacon is crisp. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup drippings in pan.

Stir in hash browns. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until bottom is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Turn potatoes. With the back of a spoon, make 8 evenly spaced wells in potato mixture. Break 1 egg into each well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
