First of all, I’d like to thank a random, surprise thunderstorm for these shadowy, moody pictures. My lighting was perfect then all of a sudden nothing but darkness! But the show must go on, and I kind of like the shadowy look, it feels so morning comfy! 🙂 Okay back to the foods!

To make these breakfast bowls, we’re going to start with the seasoned potatoes. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking sheet by lining with foil and spraying generously with cooking spray. Peel and dice 3 russet potatoes into small pieces then add to a large bowl.

Add in 1/2 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 tsp fresh, chopped rosemary, 1/4 tsp dried thyme, 1/8 tsp garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to coat. Spread the potatoes out on the prepared baking sheet into a thin layer.
Cook for 40 minutes or until tender. Then turn broiler to low and allow potatoes to broil until crisp, about 3 minutes. Watch them closely because this goes very fast so you don’t want to get burned! (Haaa, pun intended!) Split the potatoes into 6 separate bowls (or tupperware containers if you’re meal prepping). Top each bowl with 2 scrambled eggs, 2 slices of cooked, crumbled bacon, 1 Tbsp of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 Tbsp of ketchup, if desired. If you’re prepping your breakfasts in advance for the week be sure to leave out the ketchup and slightly undercook the eggs. That way when you reheat the bowl they won’t end up overcooked! #egglogic

In order to reheat the bowls, just toss in the microwave for 1 minute, drizzle with ketchup, and dig in!! I prepped my scrambled eggs 2 days in advance. Any longer than that and I get the heebie jeebies! 🙂

Enjoy! 

If you want to make this recipe even healthier you can swap out the potatoes for roasted butternut squash cubes! Just follow this recipe for how to roast the cubes and this guide if you need to know how to cut the squash! This will drop the calories down to 223 per serving (3 SP).
