3 Amazing Breakfast Potatoes Recipes
1. Hash Browns Recipe
2 russet potatoes, peeled and grated
2 tbsp clarified butter
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
salt and pepperPeel and grate your potatoes. Immediately submerge the grated potatoes in cold water to prevent them from oxidizing. Rinse and drain your potatoes in a colander to remove some of the starch. Transfer potatoes to a kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible.
Heat clarified butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high. Add potatoes in a single layer. Allow them to cook, undisturbed, for 4 to 6 minutes or until a golden, crunchy layer has formed. Use a spatula to break up the potatoes and cook them, undisturbed, for another 4 to 6 minutes. Continue until the potatoes are golden and crispy all over.
2. Crispy Smashed Potatoes Recipe
24 baby potatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
salt and pepperIn a large pot, boil potatoes until they are fork tender. Rinse them under cold water until they are cool enough to handle. On a baking sheet, smash each potato with the palm of your hand or a small bowl or cup. Drizzle each potato with olive oil and then season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme and parmesan. Bake at 425°F for about 10 minutes or until they become golden and crispy. For extra crispy potatoes, broil for the final minute of cooking.
