• ● 2 medium-sized Russet potatoes
• Russets are the go-to choice for breakfast potatoes because of their fluffy interior and crispy exterior when cooked. You can use other types of potatoes but Russets give the best texture.
• ● 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Olive oil adds a rich savory flavor and helps achieve that golden-brown crispiness on the potatoes. If you prefer, you can swap in avocado oil for a healthier option, or even butter for a richer taste.
• ● ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• Garlic powder gives the potatoes a nice depth of flavor without being overpowering. It’s a pantry staple that really enhances the savory goodness of this dish.
• ● ½ teaspoon onion powder
• Onion powder complements the garlic adding another layer of savory flavor. Together, these seasonings create the perfect balance of taste in every bite.
• ● ½ teaspoon paprika
• Paprika brings a subtle smokiness and a touch of color to the potatoes making them not only delicious but visually appealing too.
• ● Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• These simple seasonings are essential for enhancing all the flavors. Be generous with the salt but remember to taste as you go to avoid over-seasoning.
• ● Fresh parsley for garnish optional
• A handful of freshly chopped parsley adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish. It also brings a burst of flavor that pairs perfectly with the crispy potatoes.
• ● Lemon wedges optional for serving
• A squeeze of fresh lemon adds a zesty contrast to the rich potatoes making each bite feel even more refreshing and vibrant.

Pro Tips:

• ● Size Matters: When dicing your potatoes try to keep the pieces uniform in size. This ensures they cook evenly and all get that perfect golden crisp.
• ● Prep Ahead: To save even more time in the morning you can peel and dice the potatoes the night before and store them in water in the fridge to prevent browning.
• ● Add More Veggies: Want to make this dish even heartier? Toss in some diced bell peppers onions, or spinach toward the end of cooking. You’ll get a nutrient boost and even more flavor.
• With these simple ingredients you’re just minutes away from a breakfast that’s delicious, satisfying, and sure to put a smile on your face. Let’s move on to the cooking process!
