Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Easy Breakfast Potatoes

Begin by washing your chosen potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into small ½-inch cubes and set them aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Add butter and oil, allowing the butter to melt.
Carefully add the chopped potatoes to the skillet, ensuring they are in a single layer. Stir gently.
Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss to coat the potatoes well.
Cover the skillet and let the potatoes steam for 3-4 minutes.
After steaming, stir the potatoes and cook uncovered for an additional 10-12 minutes until golden-brown.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
