Boil the potatoes in the jackets until they are tender. Peel and cut them into large chunks. Keep warm. Fry the bacon until crisp, remove from skillet and reserve drippings. To the beaten eggs add the next four ingredients, mixing well. Add the egg mixture to the bacon drippings and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until this is a custard consistency.
