Sure! If you can’t find hash brown patties, you can use tater tots. You can also add any type of cheese you’d like, veggies, or any other filling that sounds tasty to you. If you like spicy food, add some hot peppers like jalapeños to your breakfast fatty.
Lay down about six piece of bacon, all facing vertically, and pull back every other piece of bacon halfway. Lay one slice of bacon horizontally across the vertical pieces bacon that are laid flat, and then pull the other slices over. Take the opposite vertical slices and pull them back halfway. Lay another strip of bacon across horizontally, and pull the slices of bacon over again. Continue this process until you make a complete weave.
