Now cut up the bacon and set aside. Grate the cheese and set aside. Finally, chop the parsley finely and set aside. Preheat the oven at a medium-high temperature.

Keep the skillet over heat until the potatoes soften. Do not wait until the potatoes are fried, just soften them. Then add the bacon and cook. Keep cooking until the bacon has browned. Mix everything very well. Now add the eggs in a medium bowl and beat them a little. Add the eggs to the skillet. Make sure the eggs cover the whole mixture of potatoes, onions and bacon.

Tips
What type of potato is best?
The best potatoes for frying in a pan are russets, red potatoes or Yukon Gold.
Should you rinse potatoes before frying?
Rinse or soak the potatoes for an hour (or, better yet, overnight) to remove some of the starch from the surface and prevent the sugars from browning before the potatoes are cooked.
