Ingredients
- 1 ½ tablespoons of canola/vegetable oil
- 1 large russet potato chopped
- ½ medium sweet onion thinly sliced
- black pepper to taste
- salt to taste
- 1-3 teaspoons of lime juice
- ½ - 1 teaspoons of lime zest
- ketchup optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet over low to medium heat, add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
- When the oil is heated through after a few seconds, add potatoes and onions. Mix around to coat in oil. Cover with lid and cook for 10 to 13 minutes. Stir occasionally. After 6 or 7 minutes, add a couple shakes of pepper and salt.
- When the potatoes are tender enough to be split with a spatula without too much effort, take off the lid, and turn up the heat to start browning the potatoes and onions. Cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, stirring enough to brown them all over. During this part, squeeze the juice of up to half a lime in - up to your taste. A minute or two before removing from heat, add more pepper and salt to taste.
- Serve it up with ketchup if you want to keep it classy and classic. Also, grate some lime zest right on top.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Don't skip the lime! It's the home fries seasoning that makes these vegan breakfast potatoes unique!
- Stir while cooking. This keeps the potatoes and onions from burning.
- Cover with a lid. Keeping the heat in the pan will help the potatoes cook more quickly.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to five days. Reheat in a skillet with a bit more oil or spread them on a baking tray and heat in the oven.
