Step 1: Prepare the ingredients by peeling and dicing the russet potatoes into small cubes. Finely chop the chives and set them aside for garnish.
Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the skillet.
Step 3: To the skillet with bacon fat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the diced potatoes. Season the potatoes with half of the salt and pepper. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
Step 4: While the potatoes are cooking, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the coconut milk and remaining salt and pepper. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 5: In a separate non-stick pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir with a spatula, pulling the eggs across the pan as they cook. Continue stirring until the eggs are just set, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 6: Chop the cooked bacon into pieces. Add the bacon to the potato skillet and stir to combine.
Step 7: Serve scrambled eggs alongside the bacon and potato mixture. Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
