Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 1 medium, diced Red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 stalks, sliced Green onions
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Place the cubed potatoes in a pot of salted water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until just fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool slightly.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the partially cooked potatoes to the skillet. Spread them out evenly and let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to develop a golden crust on one side.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, Creole seasoning, salt, and black pepper evenly over the potatoes. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings. Continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crispy on all sides.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sliced green onions and chopped parsley for a fresh pop of flavor.
Serve the Creole Smokey Breakfast Potatoes hot as a side dish or as a hearty breakfast option with eggs or sausage.
