Skillet Breakfast Potatoes are a yummy addition to any meal (even dinner). They're so simple to make with only a few ingredients you probably already have on hand.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet on medium high heat.
Once oil is hot, add the diced potatoes and onion to the skillet. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, until sides of potatoes have browned. (If your potatoes aren't diced small it will take longer to brown the sides.) Add another tbsp of oil if needed.
If potatoes have browned but don't seem a little soft to the touch cover the pan with a lid and reduce heat to medium for 2 to 3 minutes.
Salt and pepper to taste. Serve as is or garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
Don't overload your skillet or your potatoes will take a long time to brown. You want to have almost a single layer evenly distributed in your pan.Nutrition information assumes that you used 2 tbsp olive oil.You can easily double this recipe to feed more people! That (plus how easy it is) is why it's such a hit when entertaining!
