- Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings from the skillet. Add the potatoes and cook for about 6 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Season with the paprika and salt and pepper to taste. Remove the potatoes from the skillet.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and a dash of hot sauce. Wipe out the skillet and melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and cook and scramble eggs until set. Stir in cheese and remove from the heat.

Notes
- You can use any breakfast diced potato like "Diced Hash Brown Potatoes" or "Potatoes O'Brien"
- Instead of frozen potatoes, you can use 1 large russet potato, peeled and diced.
- While cooking the eggs, you can keep the potatoes and bacon warm by placing them in a preheated 300 degree oven.
