Breakfast Skillet Potatoes Recipe
This is one of those amazing breakfast dishes that disappears fast when you put it out on the table. I love making these Breakfast Skillet Potatoes on the weekends or when we host brunch at our house. They’re just so full of flavor and everybody raves about how delicious they are.
The key is having a cast iron skillet. My grandmother gave me ours several years ago and explained that any good southern cook must have a cast iron skillet and know how to use it. And you always take the advice of a southern lady who has served up hundreds of meals in her lifetime and won more than a few blue ribbons for her recipes.
Of course there are lots of things you can add to this recipe to make it your own style. My husband loves to scramble up his eggs and toss them in. I’ve added chorizo to make it a little spicier and give it a kick. Hey, whatever your heart (or stomache really) desires!
