Vegan Breakfast Potatoes
Make perfect crispy, tender breakfast potatoes. This is a versatile dish that can be served in may ways. It's vegan and gluten-free.
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 skillet
- 1 spatula
Ingredients
- ½ lb potatoes
- 1 red onion cut into cubes
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tsp Italian Seasonings
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper
- salt & pepper to taste
- finely choppes cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Peel the skin or keep it on as a choice. Here I have peeled off the skin of the potatoes. Then dice into small bite-size cubes.
- Once you cut the potatoes, rinse them once or twice till the water comes as clear.
- Then soak the diced potatoes in a bowl of chilled water.
- Soak for 15 - 20 minutes minimum. After that remove from water when ready to cook.
- Heat oil in a skillet. Add minced garlic and saute for 10 - 15 sec till the pungent smell goes off.
- Then add the potatoes and the seasonings and salt. Toss to mix well.
- Keep it on high flame for 2 - 4 minutes. Now reduce the heat and cook for 5 - 8 minutes covering with a lid.
- Once potatoes are half cooked, add diced potatoes. This will help keep a slight crunch in the onions and they will not be mushy at all.
- Toss to mix and cover again to cook on low heat till potatoes turn fork-tender and cooked nicely.
- In the end, add finely chopped cilantro or parsley with a dash of lemon juice.
Notes
1. You may peel off the skin or leave them for a crispier bite. Both will make them tasty.
2. After dice the potatoes, rinse the potatoes in fresh water once or twice to get rid of the starch.
3. After rinsing, place them in a bowl of ice water (chilled water) for 15 - 20 minutes). This will make the potatoes crispier and will stop making them mushy while cooking. This is an important step for nice crisp-tender breakfast potatoes.
4. To give them a brown effect, cook the potatoes on high heat for the last 1 - 2 minutes without stirring (or stirring once) depending on the doneness you want.
5. Add any seasonings of choice.
