This morning I threw myself back in time, as I was feeling a bit nostalgic. Growing up my father, who has passed used to make this for my siblings and I and simply called it "bacon, eggs and potato chips"

So today it's what I made. Crushed up plain potato chips, bacon pieces and poached eggs. Mix it all together and you have a strange but delicious combination.

    Brings me back to my college and early professional days when money was scarce.

  2. Sounds fire, not far off a normal skillet really

    Eggs look perfect

    For some reason after seeing this made me think if you do same with cornflakes without sugar.

    This is kind of like a very traditional Latin American breakfast called chilaquiles except the chips are cooked with enchilada sauce. You can throw anything else you want in them and often eggs are served on top. ¡Que rico!

    I would eat a bowl of firecrackers if you covered them in those yolky, silky, buttery deliciousness 😝

    Try thay with tortilla chips, salsa Verde and some queso fresco and you’ll basically have chilaquiles!!

    It’s not that different than using tortilla chips

  12. Nice! May have to try that

    My mom made eggs and corn cereal like Special K or Kellog19 when I was a kid and I sometimes make it when I am in a hurry.

    I actually think this would work with Frosted Flakes as well, which is what I thought they were.

    Try crispy hash browns. Thank me later.

  15. Chips as us in the uk call them are crisps. But serve this with so “French fries” or what ever you call them would be ace!
    Eggs look special!

    I thought those were corn flakes and about had a heart attack .

  17. Chips are a great pairing sandwiched in a PB&J

    This is a thing in Spain. Lots of bars serve dishes of potato chips with all kinds of toppings and they love to put fried eggs on top. It’s such a good combo.

    This looks and sound amazing, I saved it but I know I’m probably never going to maker it😭

  22. Would smash.

    Anyone made mashed potatoes out of chips yet? Been wanting to try it but have not.

    My dad would scramble eggs with Fritos whenever he made us breakfast. Fully behind chips and eggs.
