This is a staple weekend breakfast that uses up whatever potatoes I have lying around. It's fairly simple and relies on the rendered bacon fat to get the potatoes crispy.
~3 lbs Yukon gold potatoesdiced into 1/2 inch cubes
1 1/2Yellow onionsdiced
3Bell peppersmix of red and yellow, diced
1 1/2tbspFresh rosemarychopped
1/2tbspGarlic powder
1/2tbspCumin
3/4tspPaprika
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Fresh chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
Dice potatoes into uniform 1/2 inch cubes. Dice onions and bell peppers. Chop bacon and rosemary.
Cook chopped bacon in large skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until crispy. Remove bacon with slotted spoon and set aside, leaving grease in pan.
Add 1 tbsp canola oil to bacon grease. Add diced potatoes and cook 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown and tender.
Push potatoes to side of skillet. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil, onions, and bell peppers. Cook 5-8 minutes until slightly tender.
Stir in rosemary, garlic powder, cumin, and paprika. Cook 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add bacon back to pan and mix everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh chives or parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Work in batches if needed to avoid crowding the pan, which causes steaming instead of crisping.
