Breakfast potatoes, or home fries, perfectly create a soft inside with a crispy outside. I find they make a great addition to any morning meal. Whether I'm serving them with eggs, bacon, or just on their own, they’re always a hit in my kitchen.

Instructions

Add the oil to a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potatoes, spreading them out in an even layer, and turn the heat down to medium. Drape a piece of foil over the skillet (or place a lid slightly ajar on top) and cook the potatoes for 10 minutes. After 5 minutes, use a thin metal spatula to flip the potatoes.
