How to Make Herbed Country Breakfast Potatoes

  1. Wash and scrub 3-4 medium russet or red potatoes (about 1.5 lbs). Dice into 3/4-1 inch pieces.
  2. Chop 1/2 medium yellow or red onion (about 1/2 cup).
  3. Roughly chop 2-3 sprigs of fresh rosemary and 2-3 sprigs of fresh thyme (about 1 tablespoon each). If using, chop 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Heat 3 tablespoons of light olive oil or canola oil in a very large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add the potatoes to the skillet and fry, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until lightly golden (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Reduce heat to medium. Spread the chopped onion evenly over the potatoes.
  8. Cook, turning as needed, until the onions are softened (about 3-4 minutes).
  9. Sprinkle the fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley (if using) over the mixture.
  10. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy (about 5-7 minutes).
  11. Remove from heat and drain the potatoes on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  12. Sprinkle with fine sea salt to taste, tossing gently to distribute evenly.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
