WHAT'S THE BEST POTATO TO USE?

When it comes to the best potato for making Skillet Parmesan Breakfast Potatoes, I'll tell you gold or yellow potatoes every time. This is because they are nice and creamy and produce a more buttery flavor without any actual butter. Baby Yukon gold are my favorites, but any other creamy variety will work.

HOW TO GET PERFECT BREAKFAST POTATOES EVERY TIME

Perfect breakfast potatoes are nice and crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside. To get yours perfect and avoid a mushy mess, here are some things I've learned:

  1. First, take the time to cut your potatoes into small pieces that are all the same size. Cutting potatoes into different sized pieces can lead to some pieces being overdone while others are underdone.
  2. Second, don’t overload the skillet with too many potatoes. Doing so will make it hard to brown them and cook them all equally. Instead, make sure you spread the pieces evenly in the pan in a single layer.
  3. Lastly, do not cover the potatoes. While this does help them to cook quicker, it also results in mushy potatoes. Leave the lid off and stir occasionally so you’re browning all sides.
