Breakfast Potatoes just take a breakfast or brunch menu to the next level, in my humble opinion.

And luckily, these breakfast potatoes couldn’t be simpler to make. Chop everything up, toss it into a skillet, cook it until it is ready, and then gobble them up.

Sounds simple enough, right?

That’s about all there is to it. Promise.

And if you really want to make things simple as can be, just chop all of the veggies the night before and leave the skins on your potatoes like I do.

I get tickled every time I serve them to company at the comments about how much they love the potatoes with the skins on still on them. For a few minutes I act like it makes them more gourmet or something. Then, I can’t stand it anymore and I admit to my laziness.

Here’s my Breakfast Potatoes recipe. Hope you love ’em.

    What do you think if a person put a scrambled egg mixture in half way through the cooking time and wa la you have a complete breakfast?? Maybe add some crumbled bacon?? Would like to hear your thoughts on that. Looks great as usual. Keep them coming. 🙂

      I have always fixed this and after potatoes are cooked through scramble several eggs and pour on top with chopped ham — stirring to set the eggs.
