About Fried breakfast potatoes

Fried breakfast potatoes are a popular side dish in American and European cuisines, often served as diced, sliced, or shredded potatoes cooked in oil or butter, sometimes with onions and seasonings.

Fried breakfast potatoes may be seasoned with herbs and spices for added flavor and paired with a variety of breakfast dishes.
