Breakfast Potatoes With Onions And Peppers Ingredients
1/2 sweet onion, diced
1 lb potatoes (we're using yukon gold)
3 bell peppers, chopped (I'm using fire roasted, you can also use fresh)
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 tsp salt
½ tsp ground pepper

Breakfast Potatoes With Onions And Peppers Directions
We’re going to use about ½ of a large onion, diced. You’ll want to have about ½ cup of onions… and one of the ways we get these breakfast potatoes done so quickly is by starting we’re going to get these cooking before starting the potatoes.

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add about a tablespoon of avocado or olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onions, and cook them until they are softened.

How to make pan fried potatoes
Okay, while the onions are cooking, dice the potatoes into pieces that are about ½ an inch, which will help the potatoes cook faster but they’re still big enough to easily pick up with a fork. I’m using yukon gold potatoes, you can use what you have… and don’t worry about peeling these. When you’ve cut about ½ of them, place the cut potatoes in a single layer on a microwave safe plate, and microwave on high heat until they’re tender… this is about 2 ½ minutes for me. This is one of the keys to getting potatoes that are crispy in less than 30 minutes.

While the first bunch is in the microwave, continue dicing the rest of the potatoes. The onions should be about finished, when they’re tender remove the onions from the skillet. The first set of potatoes are done in the microwave, they’ve just about cooked thru, losing their crunch. Keep the skillet on low heat so the skillet stays hot while the second batch of potatoes finishes in the microwave.

Next, I’m using some extra bell peppers that I fire roasted the other day for some salsa, they’re super sweet, and the skins just slip off. They also take up a lot less space in the fridge. I’m give these a rough chop… if you’re using fresh peppers, you’ll want to cook them along with the onions in the first step.

Once the second patch of potatoes are done, add another tablespoon of oil to the pan and heat over medium high heat. Once the oil is sizzling hot again, add the potatoes, tossing to coat all of the surfaces with a bit of oil. I’m making these potatoes vegetarian today… you could use bacon fat here for even more flavor.

Cook the potatoes over medium high heat, until the edges are golden brown and crispy, it should only take 5 - 7 minutes…. Add the onions and peppers to the skillet, give it a stir and heat for about a minute or two for them to warm through. Season with salt and pepper and serve!

Crispy Breakfast Potatoes are perfect brunch food, and one of our favorite ways to serve potatoes for breakfast.

I just made this with 🥓 and turned out to be best breakfast ever. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Texas!

[makiko]

I make this often! I also add any leftover veggies I have on hand-like zucchini, mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, etc. I also use season salt, smoked paprika, garlic, and pepper for amazing flavor! Add eggs over easy and an avocado and it’s love on a plate! 😍

[christinaomole]

[sushilsharma]

Will be trying this today, thanks for the great straight to the point video

[bettynemet]

I always use to cook my potatoes until almost done, then add onions and peppers or anything else to the pan..then everything gets cooked together for a nice crispy texture.. 😋

[josephinesparks]

Thank you for sharing your way of making breakfast potatoes so easy and simple I made this morning and it turned out delicious I made breakfast brunch style with the egg yolk on top to add pizzazz! *chefs kiss* 😘👌❤

[duggydo]

I'm sure those taste fine. However, there are a few ways to make it even better. Cut the potatoes into slightly smaller chunks and wash off the starch in water first. Then chunk up some bacon and cook everything in real butter. Microwaving the potatoes is not necessary. I use med-high heat, cover, and stir occasionally to avoid burning. I've learned when to stir them so they brown but not burn. The difference in taste is amazing.

[pennyvecchio]

Thank you, also made your Award Winning Chili, it was amazing.

[Salvathor]

Beautiful recipe, thank you. I use lard, but mostly butter and cream together, and also olive and avocado oils. "Vegetable" oils i don't use at all nor margarina since 2002 and I started having children in three months! before that I hade none. Those oils are plastic. And forgive me but I will add eggs at the end of the recipeeee... and frie them.

Beef Dripping works really well for frying this off

[karlrschneider]

I often make this same dish but I use clarified butter for the fat. Glad to see you know to start with the onions!

[pawshands]

I am a natural vegan. Potatoes are a filling and tasty food. So versatile and just good for you.

[joelimo]

Looks Delicious, Im going to make some..

[vr]

1 tablespoon of oil??? No way that has to be way more 😂

[ashleydunn]

Could I microwave (to soften) the night before and store them in the fridge? Trying to save time in the morning.
