Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Spices & 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
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into small, evenly sized cubes. Finely chop the onion to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
- 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 well until each potato piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned potatoes and chopped onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until the potatoes turn golden brown and crispy on the outside while becoming tender on the inside.
- Serve: Once cooked, transfer the potatoes from the skillet to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the potatoes hot for a flavorful breakfast side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the skillet to allow the potatoes to brown evenly.
- You can substitute russet potatoes with Yukon Gold for a slightly creamier texture.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more paprika or garlic for bolder flavors.
- These potatoes pair well with eggs, bacon, or avocado for a balanced breakfast.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet to retain crispiness.
