Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then dice them into 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.
Peel and finely slice the yellow onion into thin strips.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed potatoes and spread them into an even layer in the pan. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown on the outside and softened in the center.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Stir in the sliced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the onion becomes soft and caramelized.
Season the potato and onion mixture with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the potatoes and onions with the spices.
Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are well combined.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve the fried breakfast potatoes warm as a side dish or pair them with eggs and toast for a complete breakfast.
