Sautéed Breakfast Potatoes

Y’all, look at how amazingly delicious those crispy breakfast potatoes look! It makes my mouth water!

Breakfast potatoes are sometimes called “home fries”. What are Home Fries?

Home fries, also known as skillet potatoes, are a classic American dish that brings comfort and warmth to any meal.

These delicious taters are made from diced or sliced potatoes that are cooked in a skillet until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside, while remaining tender and fluffy on the inside. Leftover baked potatoes make preparing home fries so simple and easy and they cook up quickly!

Home fries are often seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, to enhance their savory flavor. Y’all just gotta try them with the Greek seasoning because it really adds such amazing flavor!

They are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed as a side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Whether you’re pairing them with eggs and bacon in a hearty breakfast plate or serving them alongside a juicy steak for dinner, home fries are the perfect addition to any meal, providing a satisfying and homestyle touch that everyone can enjoy.

Leftover Baked Potato Home Fries

Here’s what you’ll need to make the best breakfast potatoes ever:

• Leftover Baked Russet Potatoes – the tender baked potatoes cook up quick in a hot skillet. Let’s face it, who wants to wait around when you’re hungry and craving a good breakfast? If you don’t have leftover baked potatoes then use what you have. It will just take a little bit longer. I know a lot of folks love red potatoes for their home fries.
• Cooking Oil – rendered fat from cooking a breakfast meat, a little olive oil, vegetable oil, or other cooking oil of your choice.
• Seasonings – Cavender’s all purpose Greek Seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper if desired, and other seasonings that you might like.

The Greek seasoning is a mixture of seasonings that include salt, black pepper, corn starch, garlic, oregano, onion powder, parsley, and five other spices that are not specified.

If you want to add additional seasonings, then I recommend tasting your potatoes first, before adding more. I keep it simple with the Greek seasoning and I do add a bit of salt and garlic powder because that is how we like it. 

Everyone’s taste buds are different when it comes to seasoning food, so you do it how you like it.

Also, if you want to add extra stuff like diced yellow onions or green bell peppers, then feel free.

How to Cook Breakfast Potatoes?

I love to start by cooking up some of our favorite breakfast meat, whether it be sausage patties or bacon, and use the rendered fat to add even more flavor to my skillet potatoes.

Y’all, I know that I’ve mentioned it several times, but using leftover baked potatoes really does make the perfect Southern fried potatoes.

Your perfect pan-fried potatoes will be done in no time at all with crispy edges and hot fluffy centers.

Whenever I am preparing baked potatoes I always cook a couple of extra just so that I can make these crispy potatoes for our breakfast the next day.

I got the idea of using leftover baked potatoes from our favorite breakfast place that we stop at when making our monthly trip to Costco. I asked the served how they made theirs and he told me that they use the leftover baked potatoes.

While your breakfast meat is cooking away in your hot skillet, go ahead and dice up the leftover baked potatoes.

You will want to use a medium to large skillet over medium-high heat that will fit the diced potatoes in a fairly single layer for cooking.

Remove the breakfast meat, if using, from your skillet and set aside. Depending on how much rendered fat that you have, you may need to add a bit more oil to your skillet.

Next, add the diced potatoes to the hot cast iron skillet and use a spatula to turn the potatoes until they are all coated with your oil.

The next step is to season the potatoes and cook until golden brown, turning occasionally as they cook.

The cooking process doesn’t take long, maybe ten to 15 minutes.

This is the brand of all purpose Greek seasoning that I like to use in case you’re wondering. I find it at our local grocery store where the seasonings and spices are located.

I’ll link to it below in my affiliate links in the recipe card, but you can easily find the seasoning in your local food stores.

This particular seasoning blend is sectioned in the more specialized seasonings section, like where Cajun seasonings, and other flavor blends are kept.
