HOW TO MAKE SKILLET BREAKFAST POTATOES

POTATOES:

• When I cook my breakfast potatoes, I always roast the potatoes first. This brings out their natural sweetness and enhances their crispy texture, which can make them taste better. Additionally, roasting can also help to caramelize the surface of the potatoes, adding a depth of flavor to the dish. 

1. Preheat the oven to 450FºF. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Place the potatoes in a prepared pan. Drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer for even roasting.
3. Roast for 20-30 minutes or until fork-tender. Set them aside. 

FOR THE SKILLET BREAKFAST POTATOES:

1. Heat the skillet with oil. Add a tablespoon of butter, and wait until it melts.
2. Saute the mushrooms until golden brown.
3. Add onion and garlic, and continue sauteing until aromatic.
4. Season with all the spices, and stir to combine.
5. Add the bell pepper, and cook until tender. Then add the roasted potatoes and stir to combine. Cook until the potatoes are well heated. Garnish with green onions.
