Yields: 4 servings Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 20-25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or other cooking oil)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Optional additions for extra "bang":
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- Grated Parmesan cheese (added at the end)
Equipment:
- Large bowl
- Large skillet (cast iron preferred) or baking sheet
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the cubed potatoes under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. This helps them get extra crispy.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the dried potato cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper (and any other optional spices you're using). Ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Cook the Potatoes:
- Skillet Method: Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned potatoes in a single layer (you may need to cook in batches). Cook for 5-7 minutes without stirring to allow a crust to form on the bottom. Then, stir and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender on the inside and golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Oven Method: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the "bangin'" breakfast potatoes to a serving dish. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese (if using). Serve hot and enjoy!
