Method
-
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add sliced potatoes, lower heat to a simmer, and cook for 13–15 minutes until tender. Drain.
-
In a large frying pan, sauté bacon over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add olive oil and the cooked potatoes, then fry, stirring regularly, until the potatoes are golden brown, about 10 minutes.
-
Whisk eggs with milk, oregano, salt, and pepper until combined.

Reduce heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the golden potatoes. Gently stir with a wooden spoon until the eggs are just cooked, about 2–3 minutes.
