Breakfast Potatoes Recipe

Breakfast potatoes are a popular side dish commonly served at breakfast or brunch. They’re typically diced or cubed potatoes that are seasoned and cooked until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They can be made in a variety of ways, including:

1. Roasted Breakfast Potatoes: Tossed with olive oil and spices, then roasted in the oven.
2. Skillet Breakfast Potatoes: Cooked in a skillet on the stovetop with onions, bell peppers, and seasoning.
3. Hash Browns: Shredded potatoes pan-fried until crispy.

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
   • Peel (if desired) and dice the potatoes into small, uniform cubes.
2. Cook the Potatoes:

3. Add Flavor:
   • Add the diced onion (and bell pepper if using) to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the onions are translucent.
   • Stir in garlic powder, paprika, thyme or rosemary, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
4. Finish Cooking:
