What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Food Whisperer: Quick-Fried Potatoes! My favorite breakfast consists of eggs-over-easy, pan-fried potatoes, and crispy bacon. I love it when the warm runny yolks gush over the buttery chunks of Idaho potatoes, seasoned just right. I learned a long time ago the secret to perfect hash browns. Begin with baked potatoes. My sister-in-law gleaned that little secret from a restaurant where she worked. Thankfully, anyone can bake a potato in five minutes by using the microwave. Just donβt forget to pierce it first.
QUICK-FRIED POTATOES
Ingredients:
1 baking potato, skin on
1/2 yellow onion, sliced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions:
Wash potato; pat dry. Pierce with a paring knife. Microwave on High for 4 minutes. Carefully remove from oven and cut into slices or chunks. Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and onions. Sprinkle with seasoned salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Fry mixture until crispy, turning once or twice. Enjoy!
If you substitute grits for the potatoes, you described my favorite breakfast. I like to mix the eggs and bacon into the grits. Yummy! π

Hubby will be so happy I found this trick! He loves fried potatoes with breakfast, and I hate the time it usually takes first thing in the morning. They look perfect! π
