Crispy breakfast potatoes. Everyone's breakfast dream.

They're easy to make and have the best spice rub, ever.

Top them with a few fried eggs and you're set for a high protein, high fiber breakfast!

How to make crispy breakfast potatoes

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.

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

For the oil: Any neutral oil or olive oil will work.
For the potatoes: Try this recipe with sweet potatoes instead.
For the spice mixture: If you don't have the individual spices, try seasoning salt instead.
