Breakfast Tacos

3 cooled bake potatoes
2 T oil
2 T Butter
10 slices already cooked Bacon
14 Eggs, scrambled
10 Tortillas
Mexican Cheese
1 cup Salsa

Shred baked potatoes.  Heat a griddle to 350.  Melt Butter and oil on griddle.  Spread potatoes evenly over whole surface of griddle.  Cook 6 minutes.  Sprinkle with Kosher salt and pepper.  Flip in small sections and cook 6 more minutes.  Remove to a large serving tray, try not to pile up the sections, just a single layer, may need more than one serving tray.  

While potatoes are cooking microwave the bacon for 1 1/2 minutes in batches of 8 slices on a paper towel.

Cook eggs on medium high heat in melted butter.  Try not to mix eggs too much till the end.  

Heat each tortilla on griddle after you have taken off all the potatoes.  Flip and heat on other side.  Add 2 Tablspoons cheese to tortilla and remove with starts to melt to individual plates.  

Lay 2 bacon strips down the middle of each tortilla. Spoon eggs and potatoes on top. Put some salsa on top of potatoes. Eat like a taco. About 2 tacos per person.

Note: if you want to use frozen cubed potatoes you can make a nice cajun potato recipe with
2 T oil
2 T Butter
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 (32 oz.) bag frozen Cubed Potatoes
1 Onion, chopped

In a small dish combine salt, paprika, Italian seasoning, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder.

In a large cast iron pan with a lid heat oil and butter over medium high heat till butter melts.  Add salt mixture and stir.  Add potatoes and make an even layer.  Do not stir. Cook with lid on for 10 minutes. When you take the lid off make sure all water does not go into pan, let it get on the counter and then wipe up with towel. Do this each time you lift the lid. You want your potatoes getting crispy not watery. Add onions and then flip potato mixture. Cover and cook 5 minutes.  Flip potatoes, cover and cook 5 minutes. Keep flipping, covering and cooking 5 minutes until your potatoes are to your desired crispness.  We like ours blackened
