Egg, Bacon and Potato Skillet
This is a great recipe to use up any leftover cooked potatoes, the cooked potatoes must be very cold before using in this recipes, so cook your potatoes up to 2 days in advance, and refrigerate. A 12-inch cast-iron skillet is best for this. Prep time does not include boiling the potatoes or cooking bacon. I like to add in some finely chopped and seeded jalapenos and use Cajun seasoning in, but that is only optional, adjust the seasoned salt or white salt and black pepper to taste.
