There is something so comforting about a hot plate of crispy potatoes alongside eggs and toast. These potatoes are a staple in my kitchen because they turn simple ingredients into a breakfast that feels like a treat.

I like to keep the seasoning classic, but you can always add a pinch of smoked paprika or dried herbs if you want to experiment. The secret is to let them sit in the pan without moving them too much so they get that wonderful golden crust.

Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into half inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato cubes for about 5 minutes until they are slightly tender but still hold their shape.

  2. 2

    Drain the potatoes well and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to ensure they get nice and crispy.

  3. 3

    Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.

  4. 4

    Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 5 to 7 minutes without stirring, allowing the bottoms to turn golden brown.

  5. 5

    Add the diced onion and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for another 8 to 10 minutes until the onions are soft and the potatoes are golden on all sides.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, tossing well to coat evenly.

  7. 7

    Remove from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them back into a hot skillet with a tiny splash of oil to get that crunch back. These go perfectly with a side of scrambled eggs or crispy bacon.
