Crispy Stovetop Breakfast Potatoes
Report
Made with a simple blend of spices, these breakfast potatoes are tossed in butter for the ultimate crispy texture. They're made on the stovetop and ready in just 20 minutes! This recipe is a staple in my house on Sunday mornings, so I'm excited to share it with you!

Ingredients
- 2 lbs potatoes like russet, yukon gold, or red, 907 g
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter 56 g
- 1 tsp EACH garlic powder, onion powder
- ½ tsp each smoked paprika, salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prep Potatoes: Cut potatoes into small cubes (you can take the peel off or leave it on). Add potatoes to a microwave-safe bowl along with a splash of water. Cover with a plate or plastic wrap and microwave for 5 to 7 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender.
- Cook: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add all spices. Once melted and fragrant, gently stir in potatoes, keeping them in as much of a single layer as possible.Increase heat to medium/high and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are browned and crispy on all sides, about 15 minutes.
Notes
- Should you boil potatoes before frying? I have found it's super helpful to soften the potatoes first leading to a quicker cook. It also helps to "rough up" the edges which gives the spices something to grab onto.
- Can I use different spices? Yes, you can definitely try different spices like cayenne pepper for some spice or oregano for a little freshness. You can also add fresh herbs like parsley.
- Can these be frozen? Yes, these potatoes are great frozen! Just let them cool completely, then freeze in an airtight container or in a plastic ziplock bag.
- Can these be air fried? You can make air fryer breakfast potatoes easily with this recipe! After microwaving them and tossing them with the seasonings, toss them into the basket of your air fryer or arrange them in a single layer on your air fryer tray and cook at 400°F (204°C) for about 10 to 15 minutes, watching closely, until golden brown and crispy. Air frying won't produce quite as flavorful of an exterior because it doesn't include the butter, but it is a healthier option if you're looking to reduce fat in your diet.
- Storage: Leftovers of these potatoes will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge. I like to toss them in the air fryer to reheat and maintain that crispy texture. The oven or microwave will work too, though they won't be quite as crispy.
