Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Vegetables
- 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
Seasonings and Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes and onion: Peel and dice the potatoes into small, evenly sized cubes to ensure they cook evenly. Finely chop the onion to distribute its flavor throughout the dish.
- Season the potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are thoroughly coated with the seasoning mixture, ensuring full flavor in every bite.
- Cook the potatoes: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned potatoes along with the chopped onion. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 20 to 25 minutes. Continue until the potatoes develop a golden brown, crispy exterior while becoming tender on the inside.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the skillet and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish generously with freshly chopped parsley to add a bright, fresh finish. Serve the breakfast potatoes hot, perfect alongside eggs or other breakfast favorites.
Notes
- For crispier potatoes, you can parboil the diced potatoes for 3-4 minutes before seasoning and cooking.
- Use a non-stick or cast iron skillet to prevent sticking and improve browning.
- Adjust seasoning to taste; add cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- These potatoes can be reheated in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.
- Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can be used as alternatives for garnish.
