There is nothing quite like the smell of seasoned potatoes hitting a hot pan in the morning. These breakfast potatoes are a staple in my kitchen because they go perfectly with eggs, bacon, or even a simple slice of toast.

My secret to getting that perfect golden crust is to avoid crowding the pan. If you give the potato cubes a little space to breathe, they crisp up beautifully instead of steaming in the skillet.

🧺 Ingredients

2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Place your potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with cold water, then bring the water to a boil.
2
Cook the potatoes for about 5 minutes until they are slightly tender but still firm, then drain them well.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium high heat.
4
Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer and cook them for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally so all sides get golden brown.
5
Sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the potatoes and toss well to coat.
6
Remove from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving warm.

💡 Tips

These taste best when served right away while they are still crispy. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat them in a pan rather than the microwave to keep them from getting soggy.
