My Secret Recipe for Breakfast Potatoes | The ULTIMATE Breakfast Taters

Wash & pat dry 3 medium-sized yukon gold potatoes, cut the ends of the potatoes, so you can easily stand them up, then cut them into vertical slices that are 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) thick, cut each piece into 1/2 inch vertical slices and then again into 1/2 inch horizontal slices, to end up with cubes, add the cut potatoes into a stock pot, fill with cold water, to just above the potatoes and heat it with a high heat

Meanwhile, roughly dice 1 large onion, remove the cloves of garlic from a head of garlic and cut a slit on each one, keeping the skins on the garlic

10 Minutes after turning on the heat, the potatoes should be perfectly cooked al dente (every pan and stove top heats differently, so start checking at the 7 minute mark), you should be able to easily pierce the potatoes with a toothpick, but with resistance, drain the potatoes into a strainer and rinse with cold water, add the potatoes into a dishcloth and gently pat them dry

Heat a large deep pan with a medium-high heat and add in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, after 2 minutes add in the diced onions and cloves of garlic, mix with the olive oil, after 4 to 5 minutes and the onions are translucent, add in the boiled potatoes, gently mix together so all the cubes of potatoes are coated in the olive oil, mix every 1 to 2 minutes

After 15 minutes the potatoes should be slightly crispy on the outside with a melt-in-your-mouth interior and the onions should be perfectly caramelized, season everything with a generous 1/2 tsp sweet smoked paprika, a generous pinch of sea salt and black pepper, gently mix together and then transfer into a serving dish, sprinkle with a generous portion of freshly chopped chives, enjoy!
