Try this Idaho Sunrise (Baked Eggs & Bacon In Potato Bowls) recipe today! Your morning favorites presented in a creative fashion! You’ll love it!
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 large mostly-baked* potatoes (Russett or sweet potatoes)
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 Tbsp. shredded cheddar or gouda cheese
- 1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Lay the first baked potato on its side, and use a knife to carefully cut off the top third of the potato. With a spoon, hollow out the middle of the potato to make a “bowl”, leaving the potato as thick or thin as you’d like. (Just remember, the more room you leave, the more room for eggs, bacon and cheese!) Repeat with the second potato.
- Place 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the middle of each bowl. Then gently break an egg into each bowl, careful not to break the yolk. Top with bacon, cheese, parsley, and then season with salt and pepper.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg whites are set. Serve immediately.
Notes
Recipe adapted from The Village Cook
what if you don’t Serve it immediately
We would suggest serving these immediately (or as soon as you can) — they don’t hold up very well as leftovers.

Wow! This looks yummy too. I came across another variation of this years ago, with scrambled eggs. I add my bacon, cheese and spinach, eggs, and scooped out potatoes into a bowl, a splash of milk, tablespoon of sour cream (per potato) all my seasonings, scrambled it all up and poured it into the potatoes bowl(s) and topped with extra cheese. It came out fluffy and moist (egg is fully cooked) and it
was delish. Tonight I am going to try this version, as we like our eggs sunny side up too, I wont hollow the bowls out to thin because we love the extra potato.
Thank you for this post. :)

Hi could u do the set without the butter in the potatoe? Thanks
Hi Deb! We think you would probably be fine to leave the butter out if you want.

wow, great recipe.
Thank you!
Wow , I am going to make this recipe tomorrow, can’t wait to taste it! Hope can get same result .
I’d like to bake these over a campfire or in the coals. Any recommendations? Need to feed about 25 at a rustic campout.
Hi Pat! We haven’t tried this recipe over a campfire before, so that’s hard to say. We think it should work, we just aren’t able to provide any recommendations since we haven’t tried this ourselves. We’re sorry!
Try wrapping the pots with the filling in tin foil and puting it in the hot ash and coal and cover it up as well. Make sure it is not just coal because the heat will be too fierce.That will do the trick.

I’ve tried this, but with spinach and then another time with finely diced kale. All three variations of the same reciepe were great! Sprinkle with either lemon pepper or jalepeno juice, which will definitely give you a zing of an eye opener. And if the jalepeno juice is too spicy for you, just add fresh fruit on the side, and that should eliminate some of the zing from your mouth

Anyone make these putting some of the potato back in first with egg on top?
Wow! This looks yummy too. I came across another variation of this years ago, with scrambled eggs. I add my bacon, cheese and spinach, eggs, and scooped out potatoes into a bowl, a splash of milk, tablespoon of sour cream (per potato) all my seasonings, scrambled it all up and poured it into the potatoes bowl(s) and topped with extra cheese. It came out fluffy and moist (egg is fully cooked) and it
was delish. Tonight I am going to try this version, as we like our eggs sunny side up too, I wont hollow the bowls out to thin because we love the extra potato.
Thank you for this post. :)

Thank you for these distinguished subjects. we wish you a nice and sparkling visit. Best Chicken Dinner
Not sure if the potatoes should have been steamed first before hollowing and filling, but they have been in the oven an hour now and still aren’t ready. They look good but my eyes are just making my stomach jealous.
