Wonderful weekend breakfast. Easy Loaded Baked Potato Breakfast Skillet will give you all the great flavors of a loaded baked potato for breakfast. Great recipe to prepare for an active weekend!

Loaded Baked Potato Breakfast Skillet 1 from willcookforsmiles.com

I finally got some great potatoes at the farm-to-table truck this week. Fall must coming since potatoes are coming into season. Of course you can get potatoes at the grocery store any time but I was excited to get some potatoes from the local farms.

Little guy has been enjoying some potato dishes for dinner this week and I made a little something for breakfast as well. I love quick baked egg dishes and thought it would be fun to play around with loading it up as a baked potato. It turned out awesome! This egg skillet is loaded with potatoes that have been browned first, crispy maple bacon, green onion and cheese. (Mmm, love crispy potatoes.)

This would make a perfect breakfast for an active weekend!

I made this breakfast skillet with Silk Almond milk. I usually have almond or coconut milk from Silk in my fridge because I like to use it in my morning smoothies and after-run smoothies and shakes. I do play around with adding it to recipes quite often. I’ve added it to pancakes and they came out soft and smooth, just melt in your mouth. So I knew it would be great in eggs too.

You know, you also don’t have to be a vegetarian or have a lactose intolerance to enjoy Silk. I am not either. Actually, I am quite a carnivore and I “loves my cheese!” But, I do like my coconut and almond milks, as well as other Silk products, like yogurt. All silk products are dairy-free and gluten-free. (You can read up on the benefits of plant-based diet on their site!)

    I really like your recipes, lots of them, but each one I have seen have the same problem. You don’t tell anyone the serving size. One potato chopped is likely a one to two person serving size but you don’t mention the general size of the skillet, In Broccoli Cheese Casserole you do say a 9×13 baking dish but in BBQ Ranch Chicken Casserole you only say casserole dish. Generally it doesn’t matter how many people the servings are for, family size meals and the like but for this one I would need to likely make double to feed 3 people and 1 teenager that eats like he’s 3 people. For the Broccoli Cheese I’m going to try it for Thanksgiving but I’m expecting 11-12 people. So I’ll just have to make another or more side dishes. It’s not going to stop me though, these look fabulous and you do a wonderful job.

      Hi Keisha!
      You have a great point! I’m so used to using the same size cookware, I don’t think about it sometimes. I really need to. This skillet is a 10-inch skillet. I would say that this recipe would serve four bur I know some teenage boys who can eat the whole thing in one sitting 🙂
      Thank you for your comment and for your continued support!

    Hi, I just tried this recipe this morning and the family loved it! The recipe doesn’t say which step to add the cheese in, so I added it on step five after the bacon and green onions, before the egg mixture. I’d say the recipe would feed a family of five, but my kids are still elementary age, so they don’t eat as much! Thanks for sharing this recipe. Your photos are lovely!

      I’m so happy you like it, June!!
      See, that’s why I’m always not sure how many people it would feed because everyone’s families eat differently 🙂 A teenager will eat much more than my 5 year old for sure.
      Thanks for letting me know, I will definitely fix the recipe!

    Ohmygoodness. This was sooooooooooo good! I used some leftover roasted potatoes and it turned out great! Anything with bacon in it is a winner in my book. I did have to cook mine a bit longer…but my oven might possibly be possessed by an oven devil.

      Hi Rhonda! I would say it will feed 4 but it can be more if you serve it with toasts or bowl of fruit in addition. You can also add a couple more eggs if you’d like 🙂

    Lyuba – just tried this a bit ago, after searching for what to do with leftover baked potatoes… So yummy! I fried the bacon in the cast iron skillet, then fried the potatoes in the bacon grease, drained the fat, then proceeded with the recipe. I sprinkled the cheese on top, since that’s what it looks like you did in the picture. This is a keeper… Thanks so much!

    Delicious but 1 potato won’t feed 4. I used 3 white potatoes and 1 sweet potato, fed 2 adults and 1 child. Added spinach for some fibre too
