    This recipe is a delight! I did it indoors in a huge cast iron skillet and it worked out well. It calls for just potatoes and bacon, plus eggs, but we have an egg allergy to contend with, so I replaced that with green and red pepper and sweet onion. It adds a wonderful aroma and makes for a sweet, smoky breakfast. We tossed it on some wheat toast and covered it in cheese. It's really versatile!
