Crispy home fries are a tasty naturally vegan breakfast potato recipe the whole family will love. They make a perfect pair for your favorite tofu scramble or a great addition to a breakfast taco. Made with only four ingredients they are an easy to make recipe that any level cook can accomplish.
In a large skillet over low to medium heat, add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
When the oil is heated through after a few seconds, add potatoes and onions. Mix around to coat in oil. Cover with lid and cook for 10 to 13 minutes. Stir occasionally. After 6 or 7 minutes, add a couple shakes of pepper and salt.
When the potatoes are tender enough to be split with a spatula without too much effort, take off the lid, and turn up the heat to start browning the potatoes and onions. Cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, stirring enough to brown them all over. During this part, squeeze the juice of up to half a lime in - up to your taste. A minute or two before removing from heat, add more pepper and salt to taste.
Serve it up with ketchup if you want to keep it classy and classic. Also, grate some lime zest right on top.
Notes
Don't skip the lime! It's the home fries seasoning that makes these vegan breakfast potatoes unique!
Stir while cooking. This keeps the potatoes and onions from burning.
Cover with a lid. Keeping the heat in the pan will help the potatoes cook more quickly.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to five days. Reheat in a skillet with a bit more oil or spread them on a baking tray and heat in the oven.
