Easy Parmesan Breakfast Potatoes
Perfectly seasoned and cooked up in a cast-iron skillet with peppers and onions, these parmesan potatoes are the perfect companion with eggs and any of your favorite breakfast meats.
Ingredients
- 3 large baking potatoes diced
- 1 T water
- 1 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 med red bell pepper diced
- ½ med red onion diced
- ½ t garlic powder
- ½ t dried parsley
- ½ t dried rosemary
- ½ t smoked paprika
- sea salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- Place potatoes and water into a large microwave-safe bowl and cover. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, or just until potatoes are crisp tender, but not mushy. Do not over cook.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add red pepper and onion and sprinkle with garlic powder, parsley, rosemary, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir to combine.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until the pepper and onion soften and develop a bit of color, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Drain potatoes from excess moisture and pat dry with paper towels. Transfer to the skillet and season with additional salt and black pepper, as desired. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and have a slightly crispy edge, approximately 6-7 minutes. Season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top of the warm potatoes. Cover just until the cheese melts and serve immediately. Enjoy!
