Spread the seasoned potato mixture in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the other half of the baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. This allows for even cooking and crispiness.

Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. This gives the potatoes a head start and allows the bacon to begin crisping.

Crack one large egg into each of the 8 wells you created in the potato mixture. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue to bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness (runny, jammy, or firm).
