Crispy, golden, and seasoned to perfection, these breakfast potatoes are a versatile and hearty addition to any morning meal. Easy to make and irresistibly delicious, they pair perfectly with eggs, bacon, or just about anything!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes:
    • Dice the potatoes into evenly sized cubes for even cooking. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean towel.
  2. Cook the potatoes:
    • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and spread them in an even layer.
    • Let them cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to develop a crispy crust on the bottom.
  3. Add the onion and seasoning:
    • Stir the potatoes and add the diced onion. Season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, chili powder (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir to coat evenly.
  4. Cook until golden:
    • Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for another 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender on the inside and golden brown on the outside. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
  5. Serve:
    • Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the potatoes with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot alongside your favorite breakfast dishes.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes before frying.
  • Add bell peppers or bacon bits for a flavorful twist.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet to restore their crispy texture.
