How To Make Breakfast Potatoes

You can put this amazing skillet recipe in three easy steps:

  • Step 1:Prepare the Potatoes

First of all, you need to prepare the potatoes by peeling them and cutting them into equal cubes. This will ensure even cooking. Rinse them in cold tap water, drain and set it aside while you prepare the other ingredients. Note: If you want the skin on, simply scrub them thoroughly before cutting them into cubes.

  • Step 2: Prepare the vegetables

Dice the Bell peppers – Slice off the top of the peppers to easily remove the stem. Slice off the bottom as well and run your knife around the inside of the pepper to remove the seeds in one piece. Cut the pepper open from the top down and use your hand or your knife to pull away any remaining fibrous filament and begin to dice the peppers. Dice the Onions as well.

  • Step 3: Cook the Potatoes

Finally, throw the potatoes in preheated oil. Add the Paprika, Garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Finish it up by adding some cilantro or Parsley and Voila! Your breakfast potato is ready.

  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive Oil
  • 1 red bell pepper diced

Notes

  1. I have used Russet potatoes in my recipe; however, almost any type of potatoes can also be used.
  2. If you don’t own a skillet, you can use a non-stick pan or a heavy bottom pan.
