Peel and wash the potatoes, cut into large pieces, and cook in salted water for about 20 minutes. Add the peas to the potatoes in the pot for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Halve the bacon slices and fry in a pan without oil until crispy. Wash the tarragon, spin dry, and roughly chop. Bring about 2 liters of water to the boil in a pot.

Stir in the cream, butter, and tarragon, and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Serve the mash on plates, crumble the bacon over the top, and add 2 eggs to each serving. Serve immediately while hot.
