An easy, delicious and aromatic recipe for breakfast potatoes – the best side dish for any breakfast! My Ukrainian parents always made us this potato dish on the weekends! This dish is so simple, requiring just a few ingredients, but the flavor and aroma is out of this world! It’s made with diced potatoes, carrots, onion and bit of fresh dill. Top with poached eggs, or serve with a side of your favorite style of eggs.

I grew up eating this dish at least once a week; making it always brings back warm, childhood memories. If my dad was making breakfast or brunch, there was a 50% chance that we were having this dish. He would mix it up by adding sausage or some other type of meat to make it interesting. I serve these potatoes with poached eggs, but if you’re not a fan of running yolks (but, seriously, they’re the best!), any type of egg will work. Seriously drooling over this dish just looking at this photo! I can literally smell the aroma of these potatoes cooking on the stove-top. So much nostalgia in one recipe!

Don’t limit this dish only to breakfast! These potatoes can also double as a great side-dish to any meat entree. Just leave off the eggs and serve the potatoes as a side dish to your favorite steak or grilled meat. I also like to serve this potato recipe with grilled chicken kabobs and a side of kale salad!

Ingredients

4 slices thick-cut bacon
4 large red-skin potatoes
3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
ground black pepper
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp fresh dill
1 tbsp fresh chives
4 poached eggs

Instructions

Peel and cube the potatoes, then soak in cold water while preparing the remaining ingredients.
Preheat a large saute pan over medium heat and render the bacon until golden and crispy. Remove the bacon onto a tray lined with a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Into the same pan, add the butter, onion and carrots. Saute for a few minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the potatoes and season with salt, black pepper and smoked paprika.
Saute the potatoes over medium-low heat, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Cover the pan with a lid to shorten the cooking time. When potatoes are almost ready, cut the bacon into bits and return to the pan.
For serving, transfer the potatoes into a serving dish and garnish with fresh dill and minced chives. Top with poached egg, or serve with desired egg on the side.
