Crispy skillet breakfast potatoes that are quick, budget-friendly, and utterly delicious. Perfect for breakfast or as a side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lbs. Yukon gold potatoes
  • ½ yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, divided
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Begin by washing, peeling, and dicing the potatoes into small cubes.
  2. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt and bring it to a boil over high heat.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high and allow the potatoes to par-boil for about 5 minutes.
  4. Drain the potatoes using a colander and set them aside.
  5. While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the onion by dicing it.
  6. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter over medium heat.
  7. Once hot, add the drained potatoes in an even layer, sprinkling with ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes or until one side is golden and crispy.
  9. Gently stir to flip the potatoes, then add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, and the remaining salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  10. Continue cooking for another 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crispy outside yet tender inside.
  11. Remove the skillet from the heat and, if desired, garnish with chopped parsley or green onions. Serve warm.

Notes

Make sure to cut the potatoes into even-sized cubes for consistent cooking. Don’t overcrowd the skillet for best crispiness.
