I have made these numerous times with excellent results. We’ve even had them with dinner. I cheat & toss the potatoes in the microwave on the potato setting, let them cool and then dice them up. I’ve even done this a day ahead to speed things up in the morning. It is super fast. Everyone loves these and we never have any left-overs.

Really wonderful recipe! These taste just like potatoes in cafe breakfast burritios. You’ll definitely keep this recipe handy.

There was just something “off” about the texture, but that’s just me.

I made these on Easter morning and then again on Mother’s day and received rave reviews!

I forgot to cook the potatoes, so I just did the recipe with raw potatoes. It worked as well, just the cooking time was a bit longer.
But nevertheless, they were delicious! I also tried a vegetarian version without the bacon which tasted also fine…
Absolute recommendable

I’ve been struggling to get down the perfect breakfast potatoes for ages. I’m a total fiend for them. I’d have to say that simple taters with some ketchup and hot sauce is my favorite breakfast, hands down, so being unable to get them right myself was super painful.

Somehow, this dish got it. The bacon grease is vital, I’v eno idea why. Only words of wisdom I have for it is to make sure the potatoes are on the tender side, its better to have them a little more mooshy then a little to hard. Additionally, while rosemary is technically optional in this dish, you just can’t leave it out! Or you will be a heretic to the great breakfast gods.

Sooo good! There’s just something so right about potatoes being cooked in bacon grease.

I never thought I would have a jar of bacon grease in my fridge! These are TO DIE FOR. I have never been able to master the breakfast potato. Maybe it’s the grease, maybe the flour, maybe the iron skillet but whatever it is- it is RIGHT. I took my onions out before adding the taters and also used 1/2 a green pepper. Thanks for the great recipe!
