Good Morning Millenial Readers, 

I am sure that many of us grew up knowing that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. For some reason, this belief has remained with me over the years. Starting your day when you are both famished and have had a good breakfast is unbeatable. One of the recipes I enjoy making is skillet breakfast potatoes. For those who appreciate a good potato dish, this recipe is perfect for you. For those who don’t, don’t be afraid to try something new.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Pinch of black pape
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Optional: rosemary, coriander, bell papers, garlic clove

Preparation

  • Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place prepared quartered potatoes on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 3 – 4 minutes covered with a microwave lid.
  •  Insert a knife into the thickest part of the potato.
  • Let potatoes cool to room temperature. You can also refrigerate the potatoes once cooled and use them the next day.
  • Dice the potatoes up into 4 pieces before you add them to the skillet. They chop up easier if they’ve had a chance to hang out in the refrigerator.
  • Using a 12-inch skillet or larger, place the butter, olive oil, and if using the rosemary, thyme, and 1 smashed garlic clove into a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  •  Allow the butter to melt and the olive oil to heat through. When the herbs start popping and sizzling, remove them and the garlic clove, and discard.
  • Add the potatoes in a single layer, season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika, and toss to coat evenly.
  • Cook the potatoes for 8-10 minutes, flipping and tossing them every 2-3 minutes to ensure even browning. 
  • Taste for seasonings and adjust to preference. Serve immediately.
