Crispy 3-Ingredient Skillet Breakfast Potatoes

🥔 Crispy 3-Ingredient Skillet Breakfast Potatoes
Ingredients
3–4 medium Potato
1 medium Onion
2–3 tablespoons oil or butter (any cooking fat you have)
(Salt and pepper are optional but not counted in the “3 ingredients” version.)
🔥 Instructions
Prep the potatoes
Peel if you want (old recipes often didn’t).
Dice into small cubes so they crisp faster.
Heat the pan
Add oil or butter to a large skillet.
Heat on medium until shimmering.
Cook the potatoes first
Add potatoes in a single layer.
Let them sit 4–5 minutes without stirring so they form a crust.
Add onions
Stir in sliced onions.
Keep cooking, stirring occasionally, until everything is golden brown and crispy (15–25 minutes).
Finish crispy
Press down lightly with a spatula for extra browning.
Cook a few more minutes until edges are crunchy.
😋 Result
Crispy outside, soft inside potatoes with sweet caramelized onions—simple, cheap, and very filling, just like old winter farmhouse breakfasts.
