How to make crispy breakfast potatoes

Featured Ingredients

• Oil: I like using avocado oil because it's heart healthy and is neutral in flavor.
• Potatoes: My favorite are Yukon golds and red skin. No need to peel!
• Smoked paprika: An underutilized spice, in my opinion.
• Garlic and onion powder: Provides immense flavor and most people keep it on hand.
• Eggs: Fried or sunny side up for topping.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Heat a large non-stick skillet to medium to medium heat.
2. Once hot, add the potatoes.
3. Cook potatoes 25-30 minutes, only stirring every 7-8 minutes to allow all sides to become brown and crispy.
4. Stir in seasonings about halfway through. Potatoes are done once they are fork-tender (very crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside).
5. Serve with fried eggs.

Recipe Substitutions and Alterations
