Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Rinse the cubed potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch and then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to bubble slightly.
Step 3
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onions become soft and translucent.
Step 4
Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out in an even layer. Cook without stirring for 5 minutes to allow the potatoes to develop a golden crust on the bottom.
Step 5
Carefully flip the potatoes using a spatula, ensuring not to break them apart too much, and cook for another 5 minutes to develop a crust on the other side.
Step 6
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Stir well to ensure all the spices coat the potatoes evenly.
Step 7
Continue to cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, for an additional 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then transfer the potatoes to a serving dish.
Step 9
Garnish the breakfast potatoes with freshly chopped parsley before serving hot.
