We're Having Skillet Potatoes and Onions for Breakfast | How to make Skillet Potatoes

[Music] hey everyone so for breakfast today i'm going to be making skillet potatoes with onions so make sure you stick around for this easy recipe so i'm using about five russet potatoes here and let me just say this i am so happy to be back making cooking videos this is my second video since we have relocated so if you did not check out those vlogs make sure you check them out and i will be uploading more okay so as you can see i've already rinsed the potato i've peeled it and now i'm going to begin to cut this into thin slices make sure that you set aside a bowl of water so that once you slice up your potato you can place the potato slices into the water so that they don't oxidize and turn brown so you want to slice them into slices about this size it's not too thick not too thin okay just in between [Music] so now finish slicing your potato place it into the water and i'm going to finish up with the remaining four potatoes and i will be right back so now i'm going to take this onion here and i'm going to cut about a quarter chunk i'm going to turn it sideways and cut down into the onion making half moon slices when you slice your onion make sure that you just take the time to pull the pieces apart [Music] add some oil this is only about two tablespoons then i'm going to drop in some butter okay i'm using black pepper salt onion powder paprika thyme and parsley so you just want to make sure that you bring this oil and butter up to temperature and that it is really really hot and ready for frying before you drop those potatoes inside so from here this is pretty simple my heat setting was like on medium high i've added in i've added in the potatoes now you want to season them you want to season them before they begin to get softer yeah because you want to season them while they are hard so that you can mix all of those seasonings into the potatoes and not worry about the potatoes breaking apart so when you season it look just eyeball it just you know sprinkle the seasoning on top you just want to make sure the entire top layer of the potatoes is covered and then you're going to mix it all in together with the spatula so i went back in with just a little salt and some parsley and i'm going to cover this with a lid for about five minutes and let this cook so now i'm going to add my onions in and allow this to continue to cook you can keep your heat on medium high just make sure that you monitor your food so that it's not burning okay cover it with the lid to allow those potatoes to begin to get so tender i'm just gonna let this continue to cook okay so um all right so i'm gonna zoom out here okay so this is what our skillet potatoes are looking like right now [Music] they are just about done okay the uh some of the onions have caramelized so what i like to do is i'm going to take a fork and i like to taste my potatoes okay so when they are just about tender that's when now you want to add some water if your potatoes need a little more salt you can go ahead and add that so i'm adding in some salt right now i'm going to mix it up you want to be very careful not to break the potatoes i'm going to give it another sample here okay so they're fine they're perfect for me i'm gonna go ahead and add in some water okay so now from here you're just gonna smother them a little bit with the water that you added [Music] okay and that was not a lot of water that was only about uh maybe three tablespoons maybe so yeah you want to add in that water decrease the heat i like to add in just a little more parsley for presentation and i'm going to add in just a hair more of pepper [Music] and now i'm going to smother these on low for maybe about five to ten minutes or so then i'll be right back all right so here's the finished result of the skillet potatoes they are done i'm sorry i could not give you guys a better look at this i could not find um one of my lights so yeah i just tried to use the kitchen light in here um you know to help out with the lighting but this is the finished result and these are super super good they pair really well with like some eggs some bacon and i'm actually going to make some french toast as well with this so i'm going to turn this off and from here they're done they're done and these are so delicious so so so delicious mm-hmm thank you guys for watching i'll have a better video next time okay but thank you guys so much for watching don't forget to like comment share and subscribe and i hope to catch you in my next video
