Ingredients

  • 7 Russet potatoes ((7 cups of diced potatoes))
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 4 Tbsp cooking oil (divided, (Avocado oil or bacon grease can be used))

Instructions

  1. 1

    --- Directions: ---

  2. 2

    Preheat griddle or cast-iron skillet: Preheat the portable electric griddle or a cast-iron skillet over the fire (set over embers, preferably on a rack) to 400°F.

  3. 3

    Prep and cube the potaoes: Meanwhile, prep the potatoes. Peel, then dip them into a bowl of water and wash them. Transfer the potatoes onto a cutting board, pat dry with paper towels, and dice them into 1/4-inch cubes.

  4. 4

    Season the cubed potatoes: Transfer diced potatoes into a mixing bowl, or, in my case, I used a skillet I had in the RV. Sprinkle potatoes with 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt, 1 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1 tsp of ground black pepper. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp oil and bring over to the griddle.

  5. 5

    Cook breakfast potatoes outdoors: To the griddle, add 2 Tbsp of cooking oil and the seasoned breakfast potatoes. Cook for 8 minutes without turning. Then flip them and cook them for 10-15 minutes, flipping them every 5 minutes. They should be crisp and golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve breakfast potatoes: Transfer potatoes to a skillet or dish and place them on the picnic table with paper plates. Serve with fried bacon*, eggs, and your favorite condiments. Enjoy!
