Bangin' Breakfast Potatoes
Serves 2
Golden brown potato bites cooked in crispy bacon, aromatic garlic, and caramelized with delicious sweet maple syrup. A delicious breakfast treat!
- 3 medium golden potatoes - skin on
- 1 T. olive oil
- 2 pieces of bacon
- 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 T. pure maple syrup
- parsley for garnish
- salt
- pepper
- Old Bay
Instructions
- Before you do anything, freeze your bacon slices that way when you're ready to prep, it'll be so much easier to chop!
- Wash the potatoes and cut medium dice into square pieces. To prevent any browning, place the already cut potatoes in a bowl filled with water.
- In the meantime, heat 1 T. of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Tilt the skillet so the oil spreads evenly.
- Once the oil is hot, drain the potatoes and add to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and Old Bay as needed.
- Cook for 10 minutes, stirring the potatoes often, until brown.
- Chop up the bacon and add to the potatoes. The bacon will start to render and the fat will begin to further cook the potatoes. Toss it up a bit!
- Once the bacon is cooked, add the minced garlic and toss. Season once more. Add dried or fresh parsley. Control heat as needed.
- Let the garlic cook until fragrant, about one minute.
- Just before serving, drizzle over the maple syrup and toss. Let that cook another minute, giving the potatoes are caramelized effect.
- Serve in a warm bowl with a sunny side up egg!
