Country Egg Scramble

I found this recipe on Real Mom Kitchen and had to try it for our weekly "Breakfast Wednesday" Dinner! We all loved it, but I would definitely recommend the pepper jack cheese for added flavor and kick!!
I think this would be a great camping breakfast, especially if you precooked the potatoes before you went!
Country Egg Scramble
6-7 (medium sized) new red potatoes, cubed (I used regular russett ones and it was good too)
8 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
6 slices bacon
1 cup cheese (use pepperjack for added flavor)
__________________
Heat 1 inch water to boiling in 2-quart saucepan. Add potatoes. Cover and heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook 6-8 minutes or until potatoes are tender (it took her 15 min. and me about 10 min.).
Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper with fork or wire wisk until a uniform yellow color; set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crispy and then remove. Add potatoes to skillet, cooking them in the bacon grease (I drained some of the grease first!). Cook potatoes about 3-5 minutes, turning them occasionally until light brown. Stir in green onions. Cook 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
Pour egg mixture into skillet. As mixture begins to set at bottom and side, gently lift cooked portions with spatula so that thin, uncooked portions can flow to bottom. Avoid constant stirring. Cook 3-4 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist. Dice up cooked bacon and Sprinkle top with bacon and cheese!
