Description
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these easy breakfast potatoes are made with simple pantry staples and come together quickly in one skillet—perfect for any morning meal.
Ingredients
- 4 potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or ½ teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Cut potatoes into small, even ½-inch cubes.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add butter and oil until melted and hot.
- Add potatoes and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Cover skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes to lightly steam the potatoes.
- Remove lid, stir, and continue cooking uncovered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden brown and tender (about 10–12 minutes).
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Leave skins on for extra texture and easier prep, especially with red or golden potatoes.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet—this helps the potatoes crisp up.
- Add diced onion or bell pepper for extra flavor and color.
- Try smoked paprika, cayenne, or fresh herbs like thyme for variation.
