Basic Breakfast Skillet Potatoes
Basic Recipes are just that. Basics. Recipes that can be easily modified for different versions. Recipes that can be thrown together in a hurry. These are some of the best recipes I have. Takes these basic recipes and make them your own.
Breakfast Skillet Potatoes are a staple in my house. I make them most of the time using little red potatoes that I grow in our garden. But you can make these with any type of potato – Russet, Sweet, White Sweet, or a mix of all of the above.
I almost always add diced onions and peppers – sometimes bell, sometimes jalapeno – for some depth of flavor. The best seasoning is salt and pepper, but I also love Primal Palette Meat and Potato seasoning or adding a dash of chili pepper or even garlic. I have also been know to through in some cumin or curry! Crazy, I know.
Once you get the basics down, play around with it to make it your own. Let us know in the comments below your favorite version.
