Utilizing the griddle's large surface and multiple heat zones, you can fry crispy bacon, perfectly crisp potatoes, savory onions, and sunny-side-up eggs all at the exact same time. A complete diner-style breakfast without a sink full of pans!
🥘 Ingredients
- 1 lb Thick-cut bacon (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
- 4 cups Russet potatoes (peeled and diced into small, uniform cubes)
- 1 medium White or yellow onion (diced)
- 1 Red bell pepper (diced)
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1/4 cup Green onions (chopped, for garnish)
👨🍳 Instructions
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle. Set one side to medium-high heat (for potatoes), the center to medium (for bacon and veggies), and the far side to low heat (for the eggs).
- Place the chopped bacon on the medium heat zone. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, tossing occasionally until crispy. Once done, move the bacon to the cooler edge of the griddle to stay warm, leaving the rendered bacon fat on the surface.
- Place the diced potatoes directly onto the medium-high zone, right into the residual bacon fat. Spread them into a single layer and let them cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes to develop a crispy crust.
- Flip the potatoes and add the diced onions and bell peppers. Season everything generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to combine.
- Continue to cook the potato and vegetable mixture, tossing every few minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender and perfectly crispy on the outside (about 10-12 minutes).
- Mix the cooked bacon back into the crispy potatoes and vegetables. Slide the entire hash mixture over to a cooler zone to keep hot.
- On the low-heat zone, crack your 4 eggs directly onto the griddle (use a tiny bit of butter or oil if the surface is dry). Cook them to your preference (sunny-side up or over-easy).
- To serve, portion the hot potato and bacon hash onto plates and top each portion with a perfectly fried griddle egg. Garnish with fresh green onions and enjoy!

Master the Heat Zones for Top 10 Blackstone Recipes
Cooking bacon, potatoes, and delicate eggs on a single surface sounds tricky, but the Blackstone makes it effortless. Here is how you use the griddle’s heat zones to your advantage:
- Simultaneous Cooking: You can set one side to medium-high for getting that perfect crust on your potatoes, a medium zone for rendering the bacon, and a low-heat zone to gently fry your eggs—all at the same time.
- Flavor Layering: Cooking on a flat top allows you to use the rendered bacon fat to fry your potatoes and onions, infusing the entire dish with incredible, smoky flavor.
- Everything Finishes Hot: No more keeping bacon in a warm oven while you wait for the potatoes. The massive surface area means the whole meal finishes cooking at the exact same moment.
Tips for the Best Hash
- Dice Small and Even: Cut your potatoes into small, uniform cubes (about 1/2 inch) so they cook quickly and crisp up evenly on the griddle.
- The Steam Trick: If your potatoes are taking too long to soften inside, squirt a little water over them and cover them with a melting dome for a minute to steam them before crisping them up.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Eggs: Give your eggs plenty of space on the cooler side of the griddle. If you want them sunny-side up with cooked tops, use a basting cover for the last 30 seconds.
