Delicious Skillet Breakfast Potatoes

Crispy, golden-brown potatoes seasoned with garlic and paprika, perfect for breakfast or as a side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, diced into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Start by dicing the potatoes into cubes. Place them in a pot of salted water and parboil for about 5–6 minutes until they are slightly tender. Drain them well and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the parboiled potatoes in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes so they develop a crispy crust. Give them a gentle stir every 10–12 minutes until they’re golden brown.
  4. Toss in the chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until they are fragrant and the onions become soft.
  5. Season the potatoes by sprinkling on paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the butter, stirring until the potatoes are well-coated and flavorful.
  6. Finally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For extra crunch, let the potatoes cool completely before frying, and avoid crowding the skillet.
