In a large frying pan, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove and drain on kitchen paper, then chop into small pieces.

Step 2

Pour off the bacon fat from the pan, add the butter and fry the onion until soft.

Step 3

Add the cooked potatoes and fry until lightly browned.

Step 4

Crack the eggs into a bowl, lightly beat, then add the milk, salt, a good grinding of pepper and the chopped bacon. Pour the egg mixture over the onions and potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are done to your liking.
