Skillet Homefries

With all of my mornings now free I thought I would experiment with a few classic breakfast recipes that I haven't tried before. So this morning I used some of the farmers market potatoes that I got the other day to through together a quick and hearty breakfast.

Skillet Homefries

1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons sweet onion - diced
1 tablespoon red bell pepper - diced
1 teaspoon garlic - minced
8-10 small red skin potatoes - cut into 1/2 inch pieces
Salt and Pepper

In a small cast iron skillet melt butter and begin to sauté onion until soft. Add garlic and red pepper and sauté for another minute. Add cut potatoes and lay in bottom of skillet. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes or until potatoes are almost fully cooked. Flip potatoes to lightly brown side that has not already been browned. Finish cooking uncovered until potatoes are lightly browned and fully cooked.

This week is the last week before my two closest friends from high school leave to go back to school. It's hard to come to terms with the fact that I still have 25 days left till I get to go back. If there is one thing I have learned this summer it's that I have matured in the past year more than I ever thought I would, and I may just be too independent to live at home anymore. And with my parents gone for two weeks I am already starting to learn that even if I can't fully take care of this big house by myself, I can definitely begin to take care of myself, in every way except financially of course. So till next time,
Keep Cooking Brooklyn!
