Breakfast Potatoes

Ingredients

1. 3 medium golden potatoes - skin on
2. 1 T. olive oil
3. 2 pieces of bacon
4. 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
5. 1 T. pure maple syrup
6. parsley for garnish
7. salt
8. pepper
9. Old Bay

Instructions

1. Before you do anything, freeze your bacon slices that way when you're ready to prep, it'll be so much easier to chop!
2. Wash the potatoes and cut medium dice into square pieces. To prevent any browning, place the already cut potatoes in a bowl filled with water.
3. In the meantime, heat 1 T. of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Tilt the skillet so the oil spreads evenly.
4. Once the oil is hot, drain the potatoes and add to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and Old Bay as needed.
5. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring the potatoes often, until brown.
6. Chop up the bacon and add to the potatoes. The bacon will start to render and the fat will begin to further cook the potatoes. Toss it up a bit!
7. Once the bacon is cooked, add the minced garlic and toss. Season once more. Add dried or fresh parsley. Control heat as needed.
8. Let the garlic cook until fragrant, about one minute.
9. Just before serving, drizzle over the maple syrup and toss. Let that cook another minute, giving the potatoes are caramelized effect.
10. Serve in a warm bowl with a sunny side up egg!

Notes

1. This served 3 people in my household, easily bump up the amount of potatoes if serving more!
2. If turkey bacon is preferred, add a little more oil throughout cooking process.
3. Red potatoes work well too!
