Description
Bangin’ Breakfast Potatoes are crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, packed with flavors from caramelized onions, garlic, and a variety of spices. This one-pan meal is perfect for breakfast or brunch and is easy to customize to your taste.
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work best)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional for heat)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes (optional—leave the skin on for added texture). Cut them into small, even cubes, about 1/2 inch in size.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the potato cubes, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly tender. Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and caramelized. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Gently press the potatoes down with a spatula for extra crispy edges.
- Season the potatoes with smoked paprika, ground cumin, onion powder, chili powder (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat evenly.
- Once crispy and well-seasoned, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan if desired.
- Serve hot with eggs, beef, or your favorite breakfast items.
Notes
- For a cheesy version, add shredded cheese in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Add more heat with chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Experiment with different herbs like rosemary or thyme for a fresh twist.
- To make a heartier meal, add bell peppers, mushrooms, or even cooked beef for a breakfast hash.
