Farmer's Bowl - Pan fried potatoes with peppers and onions, bacon bits, old cheddar, topped with fried eggs and green onions.

This is one of my favorite breakfasts. The potatoes, peppers, and onions are from our garden. I bake the bacon in the oven until it's crispy but not burnt. I dice the onions and peppers finely then pan fry them in butter until they start to brown. I slice the potatoes by hand or with a mandolin then cut them into bite sized pieces, throw them in a pot of water and just bring them to a boil then drain them, dry them with paper towels, and fry them in a hot pan with butter and a high temperature oil (often local sunflower oil.) When the potatoes are browned up I add the peppers and onions, toss, and set aside. I then wipe out the pan, add a lot of butter, and fry the eggs. I prefer my eggs over easy. When I'm about to flip the eggs I throw the potatoes, onions, and peppers into a bowl, top with a generous sprinkle of bacon bits, toss on some old cheddar (I prefer 7 year old Forfar Reserve Cheddar if I can find it), then top it all with two or three fried eggs and a sprinkle of green onions.
