  • Equipment: Large skillet or cast‑iron, small skillet for eggs, toaster


Ingredients (All Organic)

Cayenne Crunch Potatoes

  • 1 ½ lbs gold or russet potatoes, diced ½‑inch

  • 1–2 Tbsp beef tallow (or ghee)

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil (helps bloom spices without burning)

  • ¾–1 tsp cayenne pepper (to heat preference)

  • 1 ½ tsp adobo seasoning (e.g., Badia)

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional, for depth)

  • Fine sea salt & black pepper, to taste

  • 1–2 Tbsp chopped parsley or chives (optional finish)

Sides

  • 4 slices organic breakfast bacon

  • 2 everything bagels, toasted

  • 2–3 Tbsp grass‑fed butter (for the bagels + eggs)

  • 4 pasture‑raised eggs

  • 4–6 slices raw cheddar cheese


Directions

1) Parboil for Ultra‑Crisp (Optional but worth it)

  1. Add diced potatoes to a pot of salted, boiling water; parboil 4–5 minutes until just tender on the outside.

  2. Drain well and let steam off moisture (dry = crisp).

2) Fry the Bacon

  1. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp.

  2. Transfer to a paper‑towel plate. Reserve a teaspoon of bacon fat if you like extra flavor in the potatoes.

3) Crisp the Potatoes

  1. Heat beef tallow + olive oil (and optional bacon fat) in a large skillet over medium‑high.

  2. Add potatoes in a single layer. Don’t stir for 3–4 minutes to build a crust.

  3. Sprinkle cayenne, adobo, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt & pepper over the top.

  4. Toss and continue cooking 8–10 minutes, stirring every couple minutes until deeply golden and crunchy.

  5. Finish with herbs if using.

4) Toast, Eggs & Cheese

  1. Toast bagels, slather with grass‑fed butter.

  2. In a small skillet, melt a bit of butter over medium heat and fry eggs to your liking (sunny‑side, over‑easy, etc.). Season with salt & pepper.

  3. Plate with raw cheddar slices.

5) Plate It Up

Divide potatoes between two plates. Add bacon, buttered bagel halves, fried eggs, and cheddar. Sprinkle a final dusting of cayenne (if you dare) and dig in.


Flavor‑Pop Tips

  • Crisp insurance: Parboil + dry potatoes = shatter‑crisp edges.

  • Bloom spices in fat: Adding olive oil to tallow helps spices dissolve and coat better.

  • Control the heat: Start with ½ tsp cayenne; build up after tasting.

  • Egg yolk sauce: Break the yolk over potatoes for a built‑in creamy finisher.


Variations

  • Sheet‑Pan Method: Toss potatoes with fat & spices; roast at 450 °F for 25 minutes, flipping once.

  • Smoky Maple Bacon: Brush bacon with a little maple + smoked paprika before baking for a sweet‑heat vibe.

  • Cheddar Melt: Pop cheddar over hot potatoes for 30 seconds to get gooey.
