Turn off heat under skillet and do not drain away bacon droppings.Using tongs, transfer cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease. Let cool. Then crumble bacon and set aside.
While bacon is cooking, thinly slice green onions and set aside.
Turn heat back on under skillet, set to medium-high. Drain, rinse and add diced potatoes to skillet. Sprinkle with paprika and onion powder. Stir and cook for 5 minutes or until potatoes are lightly brownedDrain and add hominy and pimento peppers.Cook and stir hominy, potatoes and peppers for an additional 5 minutes.
Move potatoes and hominy off to one side of the skillet. Add a pad of butter or a drizzle of oil if needed to prevent eggs from sticking to pan then crack and scramble eggs in the open side of the skillet, then add milk. Reduce heat to medium.
