Bangin' Breakfast Potatoes
Shared with me by: Ben (son)
My son made this for me on Mother's Day 2020.
Absolutely fabulous!! Great side dish to your breakfast menu.
Ingredients
- 3 medium golden potatoes, skin on (red potatoes work well too)
- 1 Tbls. olive oil, plus more if needed
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Old Bay seasoning or Morton’s Nature’s Season’s seasoning blend, to taste
- 2 pieces of bacon, partially frozen (easier to chop)
- parsley (dried or fresh)
- 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tbls. pure maple syrup
Instructions
Wash the potatoes and cut medium dice into square pieces. To prevent any browning, place the already cut potatoes in a bowl filled with water.
In the meantime, heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Tilt the skillet so the oil spreads evenly.
Once the oil is hot, drain the potatoes and add to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper and Old Bay or Morton’s seasoning salt as needed.
Cook potatoes for 10-15 minutes, stirring the potatoes often, until brown. If needed, add a tablespoon more of oil.
Chop up the bacon and add to the potatoes. The bacon will start to render and the fat will begin to further cook the potatoes. Toss it up a bit! The bacon will take 5-6 minutes to crisp.
Once the bacon is cooked, reduce the heat to medium-low, add the minced garlic and toss. Season once more. Add dried or fresh parsley. Control heat as needed.
Let the garlic cook until fragrant, about one minute.
Just before serving, drizzle over the maple syrup and toss. Let that cook another minute, giving the potatoes a caramelized effect.
NOTE: Serves 3, but to serve more, you can easily bump up the amount of potatoes.
