I made these potatoes as part of my husband's birthday breakfast last Saturday and everyone seemed to really enjoy them! My husband is a big "breakfast fan"--much unlike myself! He's all about having a breakfast complete with eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, biscuits, etc, whereas I'm content just having a bagel and coffee :) Since it was "his day", I wanted to make it as special as possible, so I prepared all of the above components--minus the sausage, because I thought that might be overkill! There's really nothing particularly fancy about these potatoes--just a simple, quick recipe!
Breakfast Potatoes
5-6 red potatoes, diced
1 stick butter (or margarine)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 tablespoons onion powder
Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Directions:
Melt butter and oil on medium-high heat in 12 inch skillet. Add potatoes, garlic and onion powder and stir to coat. Generously season with Kosher salt and pepper. Stir frequently until tender, brown and crispy--approximately 20 minutes.

ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of breakfast. I have a quote on my FB that reads, "I wish breakfast was every meal" Haha!!!! I'll have to give this recipe a try!
ReplyDeleteHuge fan of breakfast potatoes. These look so good.
ReplyDeleteWe're all breakfast lovers in this house. Eggs, biscuits, gravy, sausage, bacon...but what I usually don't make are the potatoes. I don't know why. I just don't think about them, I guess. Now I have to try. These look delicious.
ReplyDeleteThe potatoes look so good! Hash browns take too long in the morning (for me, anyway), I'd love to make these instead.
ReplyDeleteI'm a member of the hearty breakfast club on weekends only and always appreciate a side of potatoes. These sound perfect!
