Eggs with bacon, onions, and potatoes (Hoppelpoppel) is a traditional breakfast dish that originated in Germany. The name comes from the German word for a hodgepodge, which describes the combination of ingredients in the dish. It is a hearty and satisfying breakfast that is perfect for a lazy weekend morning. The dish is easy to prepare and can be customized with different types of meats or vegetables. Serve it with a side of toast or fresh fruit for a complete meal.

Instructions

1.	Cut the peeled potatoes into small cubes and place them in a pot with salted boiling water. Cook for 8-10 minutes until tender, then drain and set aside.
2.	In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, then add chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Add the boiled potatoes and continue cooking for 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
3.	In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 eggs with 1 tablespoon of milk. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir gently until set. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the cooked eggs.
4.	Serve immediately while still hot and enjoy!
