Method

Breakfast Potatoes

par-cook potatoes

Place diced potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes until just tender but not falling apart. Drain and let steam-dry for 1–2 minutes.

pan-fry potatoes

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the par-cooked potatoes in a single layer; allow to cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes so edges brown. Stir or flip and continue to cook 3–4 more minutes until golden and crisp.

add aromatics & season

Reduce heat to medium. Push potatoes to one side, add diced onion and bell pepper to the cleared area and sauté 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic, paprika, dried herb, salt, and pepper; cook 30–60 seconds to bloom the spices. Toss everything together and taste for seasoning. Keep warm in the pan on low while finishing other components.

Choice: Bacon or Ham

cook bacon

If choosing bacon: place 3 slices in a cold skillet (cast-iron preferred) and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisped to your liking, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve 1 teaspoon of bacon fat to add to potatoes or eggs if desired.

cook ham

If choosing ham: heat 1/2 teaspoon neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 oz ham slices and sear 1½–2 minutes per side until browned and warmed through. Transfer to plate and keep warm.

Eggs & Garnish

prepare eggs

Choose your egg style (fried over-easy/over-medium, scrambled, or sunny-side). For fried: heat 1 tablespoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low. Crack eggs into a small bowl then gently slide into pan. Season with 1/8 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Cook until whites are set and yolks cooked to preference (about 2–3 minutes for sunny-side or 3–4 minutes then flip for over-easy). For scrambled: whisk eggs with a pinch of salt, melt butter in pan over medium-low, pour eggs and stir slowly until soft curds form, about 2–3 minutes.

finish and garnish

Remove eggs from heat. Sprinkle chopped chives if using and adjust salt/pepper to taste. If you reserved bacon fat, you may spoon a little over the eggs for extra flavor.

Choice of Toast

Toast 2 slices of your chosen bread to desired golden level in a toaster or under a broiler. Butter both sides lightly while warm. Serve immediately alongside eggs, potatoes, and bacon or ham.
