    Make-Ahead Bacon Egg Potato Breakfast Bites

    If you live a busy schedule, these Make-Ahead Bacon Egg Potato Breakfast Bites are just for you.

    Sometimes, we just don't have time in the morning to make a healthier breakfast with a good source of protein and if you are like me, then breakfast time, is my most hungry period of the day. Also, whatever I eat for breakfast sets me up for the rest of the day. If I eat badly, chances are the rest of the day will follow suit.

    I try to have a good source of protein every morning. Protein is good for keeping you well satiated. So theat Bacon Egg Potato Bites are just perfect.

    Even if you don't live a busy life, it is worth knocking up a batch of these to keep in a tub in the fridge. They are great for grabbing for a small in between meal snack if you feel the hunger pangs taking over.

    These Bacon Egg Potato Breakfast Bite can also be mixed up in so many different ways, use ham instead of bacon, even add some fish like tuna or salmon, or if you are vegetarian, skip the meat altogether and add some cheese.

    Hey even if you are not vegetarian you could still add some cheese, for a Cheesy Bacon Egg Potato Breakfast Bite delight.

    The base for these was a last minute idea. I had two lovely yukon gold potatoes that I needed to use up and I had put them in the microwave for baked potatoes.

    But then once cooked, my mind goes elsewhere wondering what else I could make with these instead. Which led me to to scoop out all the flesh, add it to a bowl with a good amount of seasoning and some chopped spring onions and one egg to bind and mash it all together, thinking I'll make some fritters to go with my eggs in the morning.

    That then turns into, well if I am going to make eggs in the morning, why don't I skip having to cook altogether and make some Bacon Egg Potato Breakfast Bites and well you get the idea.

    I recommend using a waxy type of potato like Yukon golds or Charlottes over a floury one for the base for the Bacon Egg Potato Breakfast Bites, they just tend to have a nicer flavour for when mashing potatoes. I tend to use floury potatoes for syn free chips or syn free roast potatoes.

    Instead of potato fritters as the base, you could also make a hash brown type base using grated potato (excess moisture squeezed out) or spiralled or grated sweet potato. Like I mentioned so many possible variations for these Bacon Egg Potato Breakfast Bites.

    Once made, all you then have to do is heat up the Make-Ahead Bacon Egg Potato Breakfast Bites as you want them, or just eat them cold. They are great either way.

      hi Sammye - any lean bacon is fine. Canadian or back bacon depending on what you can get 🙂

      I'm going to try this today. If using sweet grated potato, presumably you still mix with an egg? Can't wait. Love love love your ideas.

      I would just place grated sweet potato at the bottom and pour over the top the egg mixture :), it will cook in the oven.

      does the potato have to be the waxy sort? has this been attempted with a more floury potato? i want to try and everything but that specific type 😛

    9. Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

      July 14, 2017 at 10:20 pm

      Hi Steven, you can use any potato if you prefer. I just find waxy taste better and usually don't feel the need for any butter, however floury potatoes can be a bit dry. Hope that helps 🙂

      We have a taster session in group on Wednesday. I think these will be lovely. Thank you for your brilliant site. I love the recipes.

      Hi. Not sure if I'm being dumb here, The recipe says 6 eggs. How many do you add to the potato and how many for the topping? In the write up you said you used one with the potato, so 5 left for the topping?!
      Thanks

    13. Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

      November 07, 2017 at 11:18 am

      Hi Ann - they will keep for about 3-4 days in the fridge - enjoy 🙂
