2. Ingredients for Crispy & Fluffy Breakfast Potatoes

- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make the Best Breakfast Potatoes
Prepare the Potatoes
Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Cut them into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking. Once cut, rinse the potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a clean towel.
Parboil for Fluffiness
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the potato cubes. Parboil for about 5-7 minutes until slightly tender but not falling apart. Drain and let them dry completely—this step is key to achieving fluffy interiors.
Season and Coat
In a large bowl, toss the dry potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure each piece is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
Cook to Crispy Perfection
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned potatoes and cook without stirring for about 5 minutes to allow a crispy crust to form. Continue to cook, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy on all sides, about 10 minutes.
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot. These crispy and fluffy breakfast potatoes are perfect alongside eggs, bacon, or as a hearty vegetarian main.
4. Storage Tips for Leftover Breakfast Potatoes
If you have leftovers, store the cooled potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and warm in a 400°F (200°C) oven until crispy again, approximately 10 minutes. For quick reheating, you can also use an air fryer—see our Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast—to restore their crunch and fluffiness.
