Cook the hash browns until golden and crisp. Keep warm.
Fry the bacon. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 6–8 minutes, turning once.
Fry the eggs. In the same skillet over medium heat, crack in the eggs. Cook sunny-side up (or to your liking) until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Melt the cheese. In the last minute of cooking, lay a slice of American cheese over each egg (or over the warm hash brown) so it starts to melt.
Assemble. On each donut, layer in this order: hash brown patty, cheese, fried egg, and 2 strips of bacon (folded or halved to fit).
Crown with the donut top. Serve immediately with ketchup for dipping, a bowl of fresh berries, and a tall glass of iced coffee.
