It’s breakfast time and we’re scrambling to find a way to switch up the traditional eggs and toast routine. Then we noticed we had a batch of potatoes and bam! Just like that we’ve got ourselves a breakfast potatoes recipe. Not only was this quick to throw together, but it gave our breakfast a complete flavor upgrade.
5 minute prep…
Peel the potato and onion then dice them into 1/2 inch cubes. You want to keep your potatoes small (around the size of a die) so you are not stuck cooking them for a long time. Finely chop up the oregano and thyme unless you are using dried herbs.
10 minutes to cook…
Preheat a pan on high heat. Add in the oil and butter. Once the butter has melted, add all the ingredients. Toss the pan or mix the potatoes around with a spatula until they are all coated with the oil/butter. Lower the temperature down to medium and place a lid on the pan. Every two minutes toss the potatoes or stir them around so they can cook evenly.
You can test the doneness by cutting into a piece of potato. If it is soft then it’s ready for the next step.
Remove the lid and let them fry for another 2 minutes while continuously tossing/mixing your breakfast potatoes so they do not burn. Remove from the heat and serve.
Within 15 minutes you’ve got a delicious breakfast addition. These breakfast potatoes go perfectly with scrambled eggs and a cuppa joe.
